Wentzville Police Department

Opened in 2003, the Law Enforcement Center in Wentzville, Missouri, houses a police department that takes reports at any hour, either at the station or, for incidents inside city limits, at a resident's home. Field operations cover road patrol platoons, the canine unit, the communications center and a corrections division. Support services include school resource officers, the traffic bureau, records, the detective bureau, and animal control with park rangers. A professional standards unit handles internal affairs, training, accreditation and hiring, and it accepts complaints in person anywhere and at any time or through an online form. The Missouri Police Chiefs Charitable Foundation accredited the department on May 22, 2019. Residents can review recent incidents on a regional crime map for St. Charles County, which is refreshed every week. A city fireworks ordinance passed on February 8, 2017 allows fireworks on July 3 and 4 from noon to 11 p.m., and none may be set off on city property without a permit. The department also posts rules for riding e-bikes and scooters on city streets.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Wentzville city, MO has an estimated population of 45,734.
