Use these important safety reminders to have a safe and happy Fourth of July! Please remember that City ordinance only allows fireworks to be discharged on July 3 and 4 and only between noon and 11 p.m. each day. It is important to properly package fireworks for solid waste collection for personal safety and the safety of solid waste collection employees. Please follow the steps below to properly dispose of your fireworks. 1. Soak any spent, used or new fireworks in a bucket of water overnight. 2. Once fireworks are thoroughly soaked, drain excess water, place in a resealable plastic bag, or wrap in plastic to maintain moisture. Do not let them dry out. 3. Place properly packaged fireworks ONLY in your trash cart for collection. If properly prepared and packaged, fireworks can be disposed of as household waste. Fireworks can not be placed in recycling or yard waste containers or outside the container. Please take precautions when shooting off fireworks and be mindful and courteous of your neighbors. A responsible adult should supervise all fireworks activities, and fireworks should never be given to children. Its important to light one firework at a time and quickly move away. Always have a bucket of water and a hose nearby for emergencies. Remember to save the alcohol for after the show. Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and placing them in a metal trash can away from any buildings. Do not place improperly packaged fireworks in your plastic trash carts, as they can easily melt. Please note, fireworks are not allowed to be set off on City property including streets, sidewalks, and cul-de-sacs, or at any park within the City. To report illegal fireworks use, please call the nonemergency police line at (636) 327-5105. To learn more, please visit www.wentzvillemo.gov/Fireworks.

Please help us welcome Officer Rodriguez to the Wentzville Police Department! Officer Rodriguez recently graduated from the St. Louis County Police Academy and has officially begun field training with our department. He brings with him valuable experience as an 8-year veteran of the Army National Guard Reserves, where he still currently serves as a Military Police Officer. Officer Rodriguez is also a proud resident of Wentzville and we’re excited to have him both serving and living in the community he now calls home. When he’s not patrolling, he enjoys building computers, gaming and participating in shooting sports. We’re proud to welcome Officer Rodriguez to our department and we look forward to watching him grow in his career here at WPD. #WentzvillePD

Keep up the amazing work Wentzville PD! You are amazing people!

I’ve lived in wentzville for 6 years and I still haven’t gotten a welcome to Wentzville.

What percentage of those traffic stops resulted in theft of money from the citizens they say they "protect?"
