In a continuing effort to recognize, prevent, and deter traffic related problems, the O’Fallon Police Department utilizes several strategies. During 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department issued 11,925 summons and 11,213 written and verbal warnings. During the same period, traffic accidents decreased 18.6% from 1340 in 2024 to 1091 in 2025.
In 2025, only one fatal traffic accident occurred within O’Fallon city limits.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department continued its strong commitment to community engagement by participating in a wide range of programs, activities, and events throughout the year. Whether hosting our own events, or supporting those organized by community partners, we value every opportunity to connect with residents and build positive relationships through meaningful outreach.
Throughout 2025, the department organized numerous events, including the Dunk Tank Fundraiser at the Heritage and Freedom Festival, teen driving classes, women’s self-defense classes, pop-up golf cart and bicycle patrols, barbecues in the park, Cops and Bobbers, National Night Out, a seniors banking and fraud seminar, Trunk or Treat, Cocoa with a Cop, Shop with a Cop, and the Holiday Lights Contest. Officers also proudly participated as guests in a variety of community-hosted events such as senior center dances, Children’s Miracle Network celebrations, STEM nights at O’Fallon schools, Parks and Recreation “Get Out and Play Days”, the Chamber of Commerce Rail District Festival, grand openings and ribbon cuttings, O’Fallon Jammin’ concerts, and local community parades. The Police Department also partnered with Parks and Recreation to host a Pedal Kids bicycle camp with Officer Bob Schoonover.
In addition to these great community outreach initiatives, Officer Jessica Misuraca and Community Services Coordinator Sarah Smith completed training to be Certified Passenger Safety Technicians. Residents will now be able to schedule appointments at the Justice Center to have their car seats properly installed and checked for safety.
Overall, 2025 was another highly active year for the department, marked by meaningful conversations, community education, and opportunities to listen to concerns, answer questions, and strengthen trust between the Police Department and the residents they serve.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department’s Animal Control and Park Police units continued to provide essential services related to domesticated animals, select wildlife and livestock incidents, and quality-of-life concerns throughout the community. These units respond to a wide range of animal related calls, including animals at large, stray and unwanted pets, animal bites or scratches, barding dog complaints, lost and found animals, and humane trapping when necessary. These officers also enforce city animal ordinances, including licensing requirements, vaccination compliance, animal limits, and dangerous animal regulations, as well as violations occurring within O’Fallon’s parks to ensure the safety and enjoyment of these public spaces.
This division was staffed in 2025 by Animal Control Officers Robert Lunatto and Danielle Lamb and Park Police Officers Sid McDonald and Bob Schoonover. The officers actively participate in outreach events such as Bob and Sid’s Barbecue, park events, and National Night Out. Sergeant Bryan Harr provided supervision and oversight for both the Animal Control and Park Police Officers.
During 2025, the Animal Control Officers responded to 985 calls for service. The officers also maintained its ongoing partnership with the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center and the Animal Emergency Clinic for kennel housing and veterinary services. This cooperative approach has resulted in cost savings for the city while allowing impounded animals to be housed at a centralized county facility shares with surrounding jurisdictions, which improves efficiency and helps reunite pets with their owners quicker.
Park Police Officers continued proactive patrols of the O’Fallon parks, addressing park-specific concerns and ordinance violations. Their presence plays a vital role in maintaining safe, welcoming recreational spaces and supporting the department’s broader community-oriented policing goals.
The O’Fallon Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy in 2025 provided residents with a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of modern law enforcement and the role the department plays in the community. Designed to increase transparency and strengthen relationships, the program allowed participants to learn firsthand about the daily responsibilities, challenges, and decision-making processes involved in police work. Through a structured series of sessions, citizens were introduced to the policies, procedures, and practices that guide officers in serving and protecting O’Fallon.
Throughout the academy, participants explored a wide range of topics that highlighted the many facets of policing. These included patrol operations, traffic enforcement, investigations, communications, use of force, and community policing initiatives. Hands-on demonstrations and interactive discussions helped attendees better understand how officers are trained, how situations are assessed, and how teamwork and problem-solving are essential components of effective policing. The program emphasized education and open dialogue, giving participants the chance to ask questions and engage directly with department members.
One of the most valuable aspects of the 2025 Citizens Police Academy was the opportunity to hear diverse perspectives from across the department. Participants learned from patrol officers, civilian staff, detectives, and command-level leadership, each offering insight into their specific roles and experiences. This variety of voices provided a well-rounded view of the department’s mission, values, and commitment to public service. By the conclusion of the academy, participants left with a greater appreciation for the complexity of police work and a stronger connection to the O’Fallon Police Department and its personnel.
The Citizens Police Academy is facilitated by Officers Dave Goewert and Lisa Sutter.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Chaplains group said goodbye long-time Chaplain, Sister Joanne Reuter, who retired. They also welcomed new Chaplain, Jeanine Ellett, from first Baptist Church in O’Fallon. Jeanine specializes in Pastoral Counseling and will be an excellent resource for officers and community members.
L-R Chaplains Atherton, Kiesling, Ellet, Buford, and Lee
Throughout the year, the Chaplains dedicated many hours to riding along with officers, participating in community engagement events, delivering invocations at numerous city meetings and programs, and offering immediate grief support during emergency callouts. The Chaplains also continued to manage the Don Lombard Chaplains Fund, which provides financial assistance to residents and transient individuals in need.

Coffee with a Cop continues to be a valid community outreach initiative for the O’Fallon Police Department, providing a relaxed and welcoming setting for residents and officers to connect throughout the year. The department both hosts and participates as a guest at several Coffee with a Cop events annually, creating opportunities for open, casual conversations outside of traditional law enforcement settings. These gatherings allow officers to listen to community members, answer questions, and build trust through everyday interactions over a cup of coffee.
The success of Coffee with a Cop would not be possible without the continued support of our community partners, whose collaboration helps make each event meaningful and enjoyable Additionally, the department proudly teamed up with neighboring police agencies to participate in National Coffee with a Cop Day, reinforcing regional partnerships while strengthening connections with the communities we serve.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) is a collaborative partnership among law enforcement, schools, parents, and community leaders. The program’s strength comes from its ability to help students learn and practice positive life skills that are consistently reinforced by all parts of the community. The curriculum is science and research based and designed for students in key transitional age groups. As a result of extensive national research, D.A.R.E incorporates the latest prevention science and modern teaching strategies to effectively support youth development.
The D.A.R.E. program is delivered to fifth grade students in O’Fallon elementary schools, focusing on ageappropriate lessons that promote good decision making, personal responsibility, and resistance to drugs and unsafe behaviors. The program is taught by Officers Jessica Misuraca and Officer Taylor Bradley, who are responsible for providing instruction and engaging with students across O’Fallon’s elementary schools.

The O’Fallon Police Department has partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Diversion Control Division to participate in National Drug Take Back Day, which is held twice a year. Beyond these scheduled events, the department operates a year-round medication disposal program, ensuring community members have ongoing access to safe and proper medication disposal whenever the need arises.
Unused prescription medications pose risks not only of intentional misuse but also of accidental ingestion by children and pets. The misuse of certain medications can be dangerous to individuals and may also be illegal. In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department collected and safely disposed of 763 pounds of unwanted medication. This program is overseen by Sergeant Jill Neyens.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Explorers Post continued its successful partnership with neighboring Police Explorer Posts through the Eastern Missouri Police Explorer Team. The St. Charles, O’Fallon, and Wentzville Police Departments remain united in operating as a single, coordinated team within St. Charles County. This collaborative approach has strengthened the overall mission of the Explorer Program by enhancing resource sharing, improving access to equipment, expanding networking opportunities, and increasing the advisor to explorer ratio, while still preserving each department’s individual post identity.
Throughout 2025, Officers Bob Schoonover and Andy Lubiewski served as advisors for O’Fallon Police Explorer Post 2943, overseeing 13 active Explorers and guiding them through their service hours, training opportunities, and program activities.
O’Fallon Police Explorers took home multiple awards at the annual Explorers Academy this summer.
O’Fallon Police Explorer Post 2943 continues to provide meaningful opportunities for area youth to learn about their community and gain insight into the law enforcement profession. Explorers regularly assist the Police Department at community events, attend meetings, and take part in hands-on training led by sworn police officers. In addition, Explorers participate each year in specialized training and competitive events at the Police Explorer Academy.
The O’Fallon Police Department’s Safety Town Program is a collaborative, community-focused initiative, designed to teach young children essential safety skills in a fun and engaging environment. Partnering with both the Wentzville School District and the Fort Zumwalt School District, the Police Department hosts a total of four two-week Safety Town sessions across two locations each summer. The program is tailored for children ages 4-7 and introduces them to valuable safety information that helps build confidence, awareness, and good decision making at an early age.
Safety Town also incorporates ambitious high school volunteers who play a key role in guiding the younger participants through daily activities and lessons. These volunteers gain practical, hands-on experience in leadership, responsibility, and mentorship while assisting officers and serving as positive role models for the children in the program. In addition, the program provides high school students with the opportunity to form meaningful, positive relationships with the officers who facilitate Safety Town, fostering mutual respect and strengthening community connections.
Throughout the two-week sessions, children learn about important topics such as fire prevention, stranger danger, pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, and safe touch. Lessons are delivered through interactive instruction, creative play, and hands-on activities that keep participants actively engaged. The program is facilitated by O’Fallon Police Department School Resource Officers and DARE Officers who serve in O’Fallon’s public schools. This allows children to learn from officers they may already recognize and trust while reinforcing safety concepts in a supportive, age-appropriate setting.
The School Resource Officer (SRO) Program is a partnership between law enforcement agencies and local schools designed to improve safety, reduce crime, and strengthen relationships between officers and students. SROs are sworn law enforcement officers assigned to school campuses who serve in multiple roles, including educator, mentor, and liaison. They provide instruction to students and staff on topics such as crime prevention, substance abuse awareness, and conflict resolution, all while working to build trust, model positive behavior, and offer guidance to students.
Officers assigned full-time to schools complete specialized training and certification through the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO). In 2025, five O’Fallon Officers earned NASRO certifications, two officers competed advanced training, and one Sergeant attended SRO supervisory training through NASRO.

In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department once again hosted a successful Shop with a Cop event, continuing a cherished community tradition now in its ninth year The police department partnered with Christian Foods, McDonald’s, and Walmart, and started the day with lunch at McDonald’s followed by a police escorted trip to Walmart to kick off the shopping experience.
This year, 11 children between the ages of 8 and 18 were selected to pair with a police officer for a memorable holiday shopping trip. Each child received a $350 give card, generously provided through Walmart’s Community Grant Fund, to purchase Christmas gifts.
Shop with a Cop provides a meaningful opportunity for officers and school-aged children to connect in a relaxed, positive setting outside of home, school, and work. The event captures the true spirit of the season, bringing joy, not only to the participating children and officers, but also to community members and volunteers who share in the experience by helping wrap gifts. The program was organized and supervised by Officer Andy Lubiewski.
The Justice Center is a state-of-the-art facility designed to support public safety and community engagement. As part of our commitment to transparency and outreach, the department offers guided tours of the Justice Center for scout groups, civic organizations, and community members. These tours provide an inside look at law enforcement operations, investigative processes, and the resources used to keep O’Fallon safe.
Visitors explore key areas of the facility, including the booking area, emergency communications center, training spaces, and other operational areas that support officers in serving protecting the community.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department once again participated in the Special Olympics Torch Run, raising awareness and funding for athletes throughout the state. Each year, participants carry the torch through the City of O’Fallon in an escorted run that continues on to the state capital, culminating in the lighting of the Special Olympics Torch to officially kick off the Summer Games.
Another signature event for Team O’Fallon is the annual Polar Plunge, held each winter at Lake St. Louis. Teams compete throughout the year to raise funds, with results announced at the plunge event, where participants demonstrate their commitment by braving an icy leap into the lake. The Polar Plunge draws large crowds, generates significant support and awareness for Special Olympics Missouri, and brings teams together from across the region around a share mission.
Officer Nick Valenti serves as the official Special Olympics Missouri liaison for the O’Fallon Police Department, representing Team O’Fallon at meetings, conferences, and statewide events. Beyond coordinating the Torch Run and Polar Plunge, Officer Valenti connects O’Fallon Police Officers with Special Olympics Athletes by making introductions and providing news and opportunities with the organization at shift roll calls.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department’s Neighborhood Policing Officer (NPO) continued to work closely with the neighborhood associations to address resident complaints and quality of life concerns. Building on the foundation of the program, Officer Steve Schneider assumed the NPO role, replacing Officer Scott Young after his retirement. From parking issues to neighbor disputes, the NPO applies long-term strategies and problem-solving approaches tailored to the specific needs of O’Fallon residents. The NPO also works with the unhoused population by responding to complaints and connecting individuals with appropriate resources when needed. Whether solutions involve enforcement of criminal codes or coordination with other city departments, the NPO remains focused on resolving identified issues.
In addition to addressing residential concerns, the Neighborhood Policing Officer uses principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to improve safety and security at local businesses and schools. Officer Schneider also serves as the designated liaison for the O’Fallon Police Department’s Business Watch Program, continuing the department’s efforts to strengthen partnerships with the business community and promote proactive crime prevention.
The O’Fallon Police Department remains committed to keeping residents informed and connected in 2025 through a strong and growing social media presence. The department actively engages the community on Facebook, Instagram, and X, with Facebook serving as the primary social media for outreach and interaction.
Over the past year, the department’s Facebook audience grew from 57,000 to more than 61,000 followers, highlighting the community’s trust and engagement. This growth ranks the department among the top law enforcement social media platforms in St. Charles County.
By maintaining an active presence across multiple platforms, the department delivers timely information, public safety updates, and insight into daily operations, strengthening communication and community trust.

The O’Fallon Police Department Emergency Communications Center (ECC) serves as the Primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for all 9-1-1 calls and emergency communications for the cities of O’Fallon and Cottleville. Collectively serving a population of more than 100,000 residents across 34 square miles. O’Fallon remains the most populous municipality in St. Charles County and continues to see positive growth.
The ECC operates continuously – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year – and is staffed by highly trained Emergency Communications Officers (ECOs) who respond to both emergency and non-emergency requests for service. These professionals receive, process, and transmit critical information through telephone, radio, alarm systems, and multiple computer platforms. ECOs rapidly evaluate incoming information and relay vital details between the public and first responders, playing an essential role in preserving life, protecting property, and enhancing office safety.
The men and women of the ECC are formally recognized as first responders by both the City of O’Fallon and the State of Missouri. As the first point of contact during emergencies, they remain committed to the ECC’s core mission: delivering reliable, accurate, and timely emergency communications services to the community.
The ECC’s staffing structure includes Emergency Communications Supervisors assigned to each shift, a dedicated 9-1-1 Professional Development Coordinator responsible for training consistency and workforce growth, and a Public Safety Software Suite Administrator. This position plays a critical role in managing and integrating the ECC’s technology platforms, ensuring the reliability, security, and optimizations of Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), quality assurance systems, analytic tools, and other mission-critical public safety software. Together, these roles reflect the EC’s recognition that effective modern emergency communications require both highly skilled personnel and well-managed technology systems.
Construction is underway on the Real Time Information Center (RTIC), representing a significant and forward-looking investment in public safety infrastructure. The RTIC is designed to serve as a centralized intelligence and operational support hub, providing real-time data analysis, enhanced situational awareness, a coordinated information sharing to support both emergency response and long-term crime reduction strategies.
The RTIC will integrate and synthesize information from multiple public safety and municipal data sources, including Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), camera and video management systems, license plate recognition technology, records management systems, and other analytical platforms. By consolidating these systems into a single operational environment, analysts and support staff will be able to identify emerging threats, track incidents as they unfold, and provide timely, actionable intelligence to field personnel and command staff.
During critical incidents, the RTIC will serve as a force multiplier by monitoring live events, mapping real-time activity, and delivering accurate information directly to decision-makers. This enhanced capability will support faster response times, improved coordination between responding units, and increased officer and public safety. The RTIC will also assist in managing large-scale events, severe weather incidents, and complex investigations by maintaining a comprehensive operational picture throughout an incident’s lifecycle.
Beyond immediate response, RTIC will play a vital role in investigative support and proactive policing efforts. By leveraging data analytics and trend analysis, the RTIC will assist in identifying crime patterns, supporting case development, and guiding strategic deployment of resources. These capabilities will enhance the department’s ability to prevent crime before it occurs and to more effectively address repeat or emerging issues within the community.
The RTIC is also designed to support regional collaboration by facilitating secure information sharing with partner agencies. This approach strengthens interoperability and fosters a unified response to incidents that cross jurisdictional boundaries, further enhancing public safety across the region.
Through the development of the Real Time Information Center, the City of O’Fallon is reinforcing its commitment to innovation, data-driven decision-making, and community safety. The RTIC will serve as a critical component of the city’s public safety strategy – enhancing emergency response, improving investigative outcomes, and providing residents with a safer, more resilient community.
The Emergency Management Division of the O’Fallon Police Department provides guidance, coordination, and resources to the City of O’Fallon before, during, and after emergencies. The division maintains and updates the city’s Emergency Operations Plan, coordinates Incident Command System (ICS) training for employees, manages emergency response equipment, and monitors potential emergency situations year-round.
Emergency Management works closely with local, state, and federal partners including the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the National Weather Service (NWS). The division also coordinates with non-governmental partners such as the American Red Cross, United Way, and local faith-based and volunteer organizations.
Through 2025, the City of O’Fallon operated 17 outdoor warning sirens strategically placed throughout the community. Emergency Management is responsible for routine testing, maintenance, monitoring, and lifecycle replacement planning to ensure system reliability. The siren system is integrated with county and regional warning processes to support timely public notification during weather and other hazards.
The Emergency Management Division maintains and deploys the city’s Mobile Command Post. This asset provides on-scene command, coordination, and communications support for extended incidents, planned events, and large-scale emergencies. The Mobile Command Post is self-contained and supports dispatch coordination, resource tracking, situational awareness, and tactical planning in the field.
O’Fallon’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program continues to be a key capability for community-based emergency response. Through 2025, the program includes approximately 48 trained volunteer members who assist with disaster response, damage assessment, traffic control, logistics support, and community outreach when activated. CERT volunteers also support preparedness education and public safety initiatives throughout the year.
O’Fallon remains an active member of the St. Charles County Regional Emergency Management partnership, working alongside St. Charles County, Wentzville, and other regional partners. This collaboration improves coordination during large or complex incidents, expands access to shared resources, and strengthens regional response capabilities. The Regional Emergency Operations Center, located in O’Fallon, supports unified coordination during county-wide and multi-jurisdictional events.
The Emergency Management Coordinator for the O’Fallon Police Department is Larry Bunt.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Drone Program was still running strong, providing aerial support for law enforcement operations whenever needed. From searching for missing persons and runaways to tracking down fleeing suspects, O’Fallon’s eyes in the sky were on station and ready to go. Our fleet status remained solid, with one large drone and seven medium drones, all equipped with full optical and thermal capabilities for day and night operations. For purely optical daytime operations, we have one medium drone and four small drones. Finally, the fleet is rounded out with five interior drones used to clear structures during building searches. To help officers deliver this hardware to where it’s needed, a custom-built drone truck was designed, outfitted, and added to the fleet. Our FAA Part 107-certified pilot count remained steady at ten officers.
To keep the program in compliance with changing laws, the last five drones purchased have been American made. The most recent addition to our American made lineup is the Brinc Responder Drone. The Responder drone is purpose-built for law enforcement, offering capabilities not available on commercial drones.
The O’Fallon Criminal Investigations Section, or Detective Bureau as it is commonly known, is staffed by 18 commissioned officers, 1 civilian clerk, 1 full-time evidence specialist, and 1 part-time evidence specialist. In addition to 4 supervisors, there are 8 criminal investigators who act as general assignment detectives when it comes to day-to-day investigations. Several of the 8 detectives also have subspecialties such as fraud, identity theft, and sex crimes. The Bureau is responsible for conducting follow-up investigations initiated by the Patrol Section and maintaining a caseload of self-initiated complaints.
Note: Prior to 2020, case totals showed a comparison between “Cases Cleared” and “Cases Not Cleared”.
Beginning in 2020, a more appropriate metric was examined, “Criminal Cases Cleared”. This statistic represents the number of criminal cases solved by the detective bureau. Also, this metric disregards cases still actively being investigated. Therefore, the clearance of rate is continually changing. The UCR data clearance rate, however, does include active case statuses.
In 2025, 345 cases were assigned to the Bureau, with 248 ultimately determined to be criminal. Of those cases, 128 were cleared or “solved”. The Criminal Investigations Section submitted 60 state warrant applications to the State Prosecutor’s Office in 2025, which was a 33% decrease from the 90 submitted in 2024.
The Evidence Section received 2,250 total pieces of evidence and disposed of 4,054 total pieces of evidence in 2025.
To validate and protect the integrity of the O’Fallon Police Department, this agency accepts and investigates, without bias, all complaints of officer and employee misconduct to determine the validity of the allegations.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department conducted a total of 8 administrative investigations. There were 2 external complaints (complaints originating from the public) and 6 internal complaints (complaints originating from within the department). Administrative violations can be greater than the number of complaints due to some complaints involving multiple police personnel or multiple violations of policy by officers. After reviewing all reports, information, and recommendations available, the Chief of Police will dispose of the incident by classifying the complaint as one of the following:
UNFOUNDED – The allegation is false and not factual.
EXONERATED – The incident did occur but was lawful and proper. NOT SUSTAINED – Insufficient evidence exists to either prove or disprove the allegation. SUSTAINED – The allegation is supported by sufficient evidence. NOT INVOLVED – The employee was not involved in the allegation.
Discipline can range on a continuum from counseling up to and including termination.
The investigators of the Cyber Crime Task Force conduct investigations into the illegal activity of individuals who commit internet crimes against children. Investigations are generated through Cyber-tips, provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and through cases from the counties and municipalities they serve.
The Forensic Examiners conduct an analysis of media suspected to contain evidence of a variety of possible forms of criminal activity. These examinations occur both on scene and in the office. They can conduct an analysis on items including computers, cell phones, digital media storage devices, gaming systems, and even smart watches. The crimes they help investigate are not exclusive to internet crimes against children.
The investigators and forensic examiners are members of the Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force and the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force. The Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (MO ICAC) is part of a network of 61 nationwide task forces. MO ICAC has been managed by the St. Charles County Police Department since 2011 and includes a network of 16 task forces for the State of Missouri.
Th Cyber Crimes Unit works closely with other agencies and affiliates to provide internet safety presentations to parents, students, and children of all ages. The goal is to educate as many people as possible about the possible dangers and to help those in need after an incident has occurred.
The St. Charles County Cyber Crimes Task Force website, www.stcharlescyber.org, provides helpful information and links for the community and law enforcement.
The Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children website, www.moicac.org, provides information on who to contact within the State of Missouri for any of the twelve task forces and a list of the affiliates that work together to investigate these crimes.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website, www.missingkids.org, provides information on how to submit a Cyber-tip and resources for parents and children.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department has 2 detectives and 1 Captain assigned to the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force. The Task Force received awards from the Mid-West High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) for its commitment to eradiating illegal narcotics in the region. Their dedication to duty, cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and their unwavering determination are what led to the Task Force receiving those awards.
Cocaine Seizure Amounts 4,869 grams 37,605 grams 71,500 grams 1,050 grams
Fentanyl Seizure Amounts 3,054 grams 32,661 grams 10,400 grams 8,360 grams Meth Seizure Amounts 41,906 grams 60,078 grams 152,300 grams 71,810 grams U.S. Currency Seized $1,066,799.00 $451,934.00 $160,768.00 $150,693.00
Two major cases that the St. Charles County Drug Task Force were involved in are as follows:
OCDETF Operation “Who is Pepe Silva”. This was a large-scale drug trafficking investigation targeting a substantial St. Louis based methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl transnational criminal organization with operations in St. Louis, Missouri, several other states in the U.S., and the country of Mexico.
OCDETF Operation “Just Weed”. This was a large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering organization (DTO/MLO). The DTO/MLO was obtaining multi-ton shipments of marijuana products from China and combining those products with “black market” California grown bulk marijuana for distribution to several cities throughout the United States, including the St. Louis, Missouri area. In total, this investigation has led to multi-ton drug seizures worth more than $16.1 million.

The team located 101 firearms in 2025, down from the 140 firearms they located in 2024.
The St. Charles Regional SWAT completed the mandatory 16 hours of monthly training and one week-long (40 hours) training. SWAT also hosted instructors from the NTOA, who put them through Hostage Rescue Training. This was the first formal team Hostage Rescue Training the SWAT team has had in a significant amount of time. In 2025, the O’Fallon Officers involved in SWAT attended additional specialized training such as Explosive Breaching, Less Lethal Instructor School, Counter Terrorism Training Course, Pepperball Instructor Course, Advanced Firearms Instructor Course, Scoped Carbine Course with Sidewinder Concepts, Shoot House Instructor Course, Achilles Heel Tactical Shooting Course, and Tactical Bomb Familiarization.
SWAT is a designated law enforcement team whose members are recruited, selected, trained, equipped, and assigned to resolve critical incidents involving a threat to public safety, which would otherwise exceed the capabilities of traditional law enforcement.
The O’Fallon Police Department has 1 Deputy Team Commander, 7 Operators, 1 Negotiator Commander, 5 Negotiators, and 4 Drivers assigned to SWAT.
In March of 2021, The St. Charles County Regional Criminal Interdiction Task Force was formed in response to a crime spike resulting in a 65% increase in vehicle thefts and a 7% rise in thefts from vehicles across St. Charles County. Since its formation, the task force has taken a proactive approach to address vehicle-borne crime through coordinated mass enforcement activities. The task force has seen a significant decrease in these offenses since their formation.
The task force has since grown and expanded as more agencies in the St. Louis region have embraced a multi-agency, regional approach to vehicle-borne crime. In 2025, a total of 27 agencies participated in the now-termed Gateway Regional Criminal Interdiction Task Force. The Task Force was active in 2025, conducting 10 mass enforcement events consisting of almost 5,300 law enforcement actions.
The Task Force was operational on 11 occasions in 2025. Key activities included the following:
Arrests: Felonies – 95 Misdemeanors – 83
Warrants Cleared: 257
Stolen Vehicles Recovered: 11
Guns: NCIC Ran – 109 Stolen/Unlawful Use Guns Seized – 24
Failure to Yield: Terminated – 23 Arrested – 23
Vehicles Spiked: 18
Prisoners Transported: 138
Subjects Ran: 1,256
License Plates Ran: 2,719
Summonses: 373
DWI: 17
Drone Deployments: 13
K9 Assists: 23
Air Support Ground Assists: 18
The 2025 Regional Traffic Enforcement Initiative was a high-impact, multi-jurisdictional operation designed to curb hazardous driving behaviors across St. Charles County. By integrating personnel from 7 law enforcement agencies and specialized support units, the initiative achieved a significant safety footprint on state roadways. The operation was characterized by seamless communication, elite organizational leadership, and a proactive enforcement posture.
The initiative’s objectives were:
Reduce the frequency of high-speed and hazardous driving incidents on major regional arteries.
Foster seamless communication and resource sharing between local, county, and state agencies.
Maintain a high-visibility presence to discourage traffic violations and criminal activity.
Demonstrate a unified commitment to the safety of families and residents traveling within the region.
This initiative stands as a model for regional synergy. Success was bolstered by:
Coordination with local prosecutors to streamline processing
EOC and MoDOT representatives to reinforce the mission’s life-saving goals.
The willingness of supervisors to provide personnel despite daily operational demands, ensuring the MoDOT Highway Safety Plan objectives were exceeded.
The following statistics reflect the high productivity and dedication of the officers participating:
Traffic Stops: 1,478
Citations Issued: 1,600
Warnings Issued: 394
Arrests: 35
The 2025 initiative was a resounding success, making a measurable safety impact through 1,478 traffic stops and the removal of 35 high-risk individuals from our roadways via arrests. The 1,600 citations issued send a clear message: hazardous driving is not tolerated in St. Charles County. This operation again proves that our region sets the standard for law enforcement excellence through collaborative vision and professional execution.
The Training Officer and Training Coordinator are assigned to oversee all departmental training, ensuring the agency provides the highest quality training possible. Officers reviewed numerous departmental policies and participated in a variety of training topics during daily roll call sessions. Additional course delivery methods included classroom instruction, off-site training, indoor and outdoor range training, and online courses.
In 2025, the department hosted forty-five training courses. Hosting these courses allows the department to be more fiscally responsible by reducing registration and travel expenses. Class sizes for hosted training ranged from 12 to 33 students, with an average class size of 16. Several students and instructors traveled from across the United States to attend training at our facility. The department also coordinates with Economic Development to promote local hotels and secure competitive rates for out-of-town attendees and visiting businesses.
Below is a breakdown of commissioned personnel training for 2025. On average, each O’Fallon Police officer completed 61 hours of training from licensed providers outside the department and 40 hours of training delivered by Missouri State–approved instructors within the department.
Additionally in 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department assigned Sergeant Keith Lewis as a full-time training officer to the Eastern Missouri Police Academy in partnership with the St. Charles City and St. Peters Police Departments. This collaboration ensures consistent training for police recruits and provides an opportunity to identify and recruit top candidates from the academy. Sergeant Lewis also continues to serve as an instructor for the department as needed.
The Center for Advanced Training in Law Enforcement (CASTLE) is a joint initiative of the cities of O’Fallon and St. Charles, created to support regional, state, and federal law enforcement training. The project was established to deliver modern, scalable, and accountable instruction across firearms, vehicle operations, tactical skills, and instructor development. The 87-acre campus is designed as a comprehensive training environment supporting both individual skill development and large-scale agency training. When completed, the campus will support training for more than 350 officers daily.
In 2024, CASTLE was formally initiated for development, with the groundbreaking ceremony held on June 24, 2024. By the close of 2024, Phase I construction, focused on the firing range and supporting infrastructure, was nearing completion. Operation use of CASTLE’s firing range began in March 2025, followed by a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on May 2, 2025. During 2025, CASTLE contracted with Wright Construction for the complete buildout of the training campus. The firing range had significant uses during the 9-month period, reflecting strong demand and sustained operational tempo.
The most significant training development in 2025 was the design and implementation of the Combined Firearms Training (CFT). This program represents a fundamental shift in how firearms training is delivered and sustained across multiple agencies. CFT provides every sworn officer with two hours of on duty firearms training each month. Training rotates across all issued weapons platforms over the course of the year, with objectives changing monthly to reinforce core skills, address performance gaps, and build progressive competence. This model moves away from annual qualification driven training and replaces it with continuous, structured skill development. To our knowledge, this level of recurring, on duty firearms training with documented objectives and platform rotation has not previously been implemented at this scale. The program reflects forward thinking leadership, long term risk reduction, and commitment to measurable officer readiness.
In support of this effort, CASTLE’s firing range was used 39 days for Combined Firearms Training during 2025. Additionally, range use included two 5-day Achilles Heel Tactical courses, two Basic Patrol Rifle Operator courses, and two 5-day Firearms Instructor courses. The facility also supported seven training days for the St. Charles Regional SWAT team and was rented for 27 days by local and federal agencies. These combined uses resulted in 125.5 operations days during the 9-month period and confirmed the firing range was a high demand regional training resource.
Upon completion of the facility, the Eastern Missouri Police Academy will conduct their operations from CASTLE.
Crisis Intervention Team Training is a collaborative effort between behavioral healthcare providers, law enforcement, and advocates for those with lived experience. The Great Rivers CIT Council identifies the community’s needs for St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties, agrees on strategies for meeting those needs, and facilitates training for law enforcement, ensuring best practices. The goal is to improve outcomes with those with behavioral challenges during police interactions and introduce those in crisis into the behavioral healthcare system instead of the criminal justice system. One of the key components of the training is de-escalation.
Currently 99% of O’Fallon Police Officers are CIT certified, along with several Confinement Officers and Park Rangers. In 2025, our department responded to 405 calls for service that were solely classified as a CIT call. This was a 20% reduction from the 507 CIT calls in 2024. This is a direct result of our Officers’ training and our partnership with Compass Health’s Community Behavioral Health Liaisons (CBHL). CBHLs follow up on the reports generated by our Officers to ensure those who were in crisis are receiving behavioral health services.
O’Fallon Sergeant Bill Stringer, Officer Mitchell Dade, and Officer Jessica Misuraca were all recognized at the 2025 Great Rivers CIT Officers Appreciation Banquet for going above the call of duty with someone in a behavioral crisis. Sgt. Rob Kendall continued his duties as Chairman of the Great Rivers CIT Council. He is responsible for the coordination, planning, and improvement efforts between law enforcement and providers of behavioral health services in the three counties covered by the Great Rivers CIT Council.
In December of 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department was selected by the St. Louis County and St. Charles County Police Departments to receive part of a regional US Department of Justice grant to fully fund an additional police officer for the St. Charles County Crisis Intervention Unit. This unit was formed in 2023 to focus on high unitizers of behavioral health services and cut down on recidivism within St. Charles County.
The O’Fallon Police Department Canine Unit consists of 4 police canine teams and one supervisor. The canine teams are assigned to 3 of the 4 shifts, as well as one team in Special Operations. One of the canine teams is assigned to the St. Charles County Regional SWAT team as well as their usual duties in Special Operations. The teams consist of Officer Vegovisch and K9 Vegas, Officer McClenning and K9 Bear, Officer Eversmeyer and K9 Loki, and Officer Risley and K9 Rogue. The unit is supervised by Sergeant Thompson.
The teams specialize in narcotics detection, tracking, evidence and suspect location, handler protection, and criminal apprehension. The canine’s themselves are a deescalation tool which assists the officers during calls for service. The teams are also utilized for public demonstrations in the community throughout the year. This helps the public understand what the canine unit does to assist the police department to keep the public and officers safe.
In 2025, the canine teams were deployed 2988 times. The teams were utilized as cover officers during most of these incidents. There were 120 drug sniffs conducted, 48 evidence searches conducted, and 81 suspects apprehended by the canine teams with only 3 being physically apprehended by the canine. Multiple tracks and building searches were conducted for the O’Fallon Police Department, as well as outside requesting agencies.
The canine teams are certified through the North American Work Dog Association and the Missouri Police Canine Association annually, with the teams conducting a minimum of 16 hours of training every month.
The O’Fallon Police Special Operations Section was formed in the beginning of 2024. This is a proactive unit that targets felony offenders, criminal investigations, and target areas within the city to reduce both crime and traffic related issues.
Special Operations is comprised of one Sergeant and 4 officers, including one K-9 handler and his partner. Special Operations is part of the Criminal Investigations Section and assists our Detective Bureau and Patrol Division with investigations, highrisk arrest attempts, surveillance, and fugitive tracking. The Special Operations Section works hand in hand with our local, regional, and federal partners. Officers in Special Operations are deputized federally with either the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security, or the United States Marshals Service. Officers in this section also participate in the Gateway Regional Anti-Crime Taskforce.
During 2025, the Special Operations Section made dozens of self-initiated felony arrests, recovered numerous illegally possessed firearms, and recovered dozens of pounds of felony narcotics.
The 2025 calendar year statistics were slightly lower than 2024, utilizing grant money awarded by the Missouri Department of Transportation. Most statistics were slightly lower in 2025, due in part to fewer organized details due to manpower limitations. During grant operations, there were 47 DWI arrests made by officers on grants, which was an increase from 33 DWI arrests in 2024. Overall, the O’Fallon Police Department made a total of 251 DWI arrests during normal patrol operations and grant operations.
During all grant operations, summonses increased dramatically with a total of 2,028 in 2025, compared to 1583 issued in 2024. Of those 2,028 summonses written in 2025, 1,078 were for Hazardous Moving Violations that contribute to crashes, such as speeding, stop sign and electrical signal violations, careless and imprudent driving, and following too close. In comparison, there were 761 summonses written for Hazardous Moving Violations in 2024.
During 2025, O’Fallon Police Department Employees were involved in 21 total crashes, which is a slight increase compared to the 2024 total of 19. Of those 21 crashes, 10 were chargeable to the officer/driver, which is an increase from the total of 9 chargeable crashes in 2024.
Of the chargeable crashes, 7 were single vehicle crashes. These single vehicle chargeable crashes involved the employees striking a fixed object, with the two predominant contributing circumstances being Improper Backing or Inattention. Of the 14 other crashes, other vehicles struck patrol vehicles while under normal operating conditions, during emergency responses, or while conducting traffic stops.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department operated a fleet of 121 total vehicles. The department added 10 vehicles to the fleet from the previous total of 111 in 2024. These vehicles encompassed every section of the police department, from Investigations to Community Services to Special Operations, with the majority assigned to the Patrol Section. The department primarily fields the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) but added 4 additional Ford F-150 Police Responders trucks to the fleet, for a total of 7, with more being added in the coming year. The department also fields several various smaller SUVs/sedans for the Investigations and Administrative Sections, as well as 4 motorcycle units and a Mobile Command Post. During 20025, these vehicles traveled a total of 1,336,572 miles, which was a decrease of about 24,000 miles driven last year.
For 2025, the approximate cost of a fully built, outfitted, and operational police vehicle was $94,000. Approximately $55,000 of that was for the purchase price of the vehicle itself. The additional $39,000 was for all the necessary electronics, technology, and other equipment needed to outfit the vehicle. This equipment includes items such as a ruggedized laptop computer, mobile radio, in-car video system, wireless mobile internet access, emergency lighting and control systems, prisoner cages, and other assorted safety equipment (cones/flares).
The most unique addition to the fleet for 2025 was a one-of-itskind “Drone Truck.”
This is a Ford F-150 Police Responder truck, custom outfitted with equipment to serve as a mobile drone launch platform. The custom design was so original, we have had inquiries from across the country from other departments wanting the specs and information on how we outfitted the vehicle.
In 2025, the O’Fallon Police Department continued with the expansion of the Vehicle Longevity Program. This program, initially implemented in 2024, provides officers who live within St. Charles County, with an individually assigned “take home” vehicle, instead of having to share a patrol vehicle with 2-3 other officers. This program serves several purposes. The first of which is it provides substantial cost savings for the city once fully implemented. Studies have shown that “take home” vehicles last an average of 7 or more years before needing replacement, as opposed to our current state of having to replace a shared patrol vehicle after only 3 years of service. There are also substantial savings in the cost of maintenance as vehicles are driven far less frequently, thus diminishing the wear and tear. The program also provides another layer of crime deterrence and protection to the citizens we serve, by having a larger visible presence in the community.
During 2025, O’Fallon Police Officers arrived on scene to a call within an average of 5 minutes. This “average” considers the time from the initial call for police services to our Communications Center to the arrival of the officer. This ‘response time” includes incidents of all types, including both emergency and non-emergency calls.
This year, the O’Fallon Police Department spent an average of 20 minutes on scene. Obviously, depending on the nature of the call, both these “averages” can be much smaller or much larger depending on the circumstances.
The O’Fallon Police Department prides itself on quick response times and, beginning in 2024, the city comprises 10 sectors, with at least one officer assigned to that specific area every shift. The Police Department believes this is just one of the many reasons they can continue to provide exceptional service to the city’s residents.
