This morning we had the pleasure of hosting Mrs. Ohlms Criminal Justice class from North Point High School. The students toured the Wentzville Police Department, asking great questions and learning about the municipal criminal justice system ahead of their visit to the St. Charles County Corrections Center. It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights into our daily operations and the important role we play in the community.

Thank you to the students and Mrs. Ohlms for your interest and support! We look forward to seeing you again.

Awesome Alert!

Mary Houts of Scout Troop 854 approached the WPD with her Eagle Scout project proposal to build an obstacle course for our Summer Cop Camp program.

Chief West agreed this would be a great project to advance and improve the summer camp program and gladly accepted. Mary started the process to plan, fundraise and start building the actual project. This past week it was completed and it turned out perfect.
Mary’s fundraising went so well and the Wentzville Lowe’s was so gracious with a huge discount on materials she had enough funds left over to make an impressive donation to the Wentzville Police Department Blue Line Family, Inc. in the amount of $670.

The WPD is so thankful for Mary to think of us during your journey to become an Eagle Scout. Thank you Mary Houts, youre an amazing student, resident and Scout. Please continue to set the example for others in our community.
