Safe driving starts with simple choices: Eyes up. Phone down. Slow down. Give space.

Speeding is a common factor in traffic accidents. Driving faster reduces your ability to react and increases the severity of crashes.

Take a few extra minutes to reach your destination safely. Slow down and drive responsibly.

Please join us in congratulating K9 Officer Coughlin on being named Employee of the Month.

Officer Coughlin’s proactive investigation led to a successful narcotics case involving the St. Charles County Drug Task Force and St. Charles County SWAT. After seizing narcotics during a traffic stop, he continued building the case by gathering additional evidence and establishing probable cause tied to a Wentzville residence.

His efforts ultimately led to obtaining a search warrant executed by the Drug Task Force and SWAT resulting in a successful outcome.

Officer Coughlin’s initiative, attention to detail and commitment to proactive policing directly impacted the safety of our community. We appreciate his hard work and dedication.

Eyes Up. Phone Down. Slow Down. Give Space.

Simple driving habits make a big difference. Keep your eyes on the road, reduce your speed and leave space between you and the vehicle in front of you — especially in construction zones.
