As 2025 came to a close, the St. Charles County Police Department reflected on a variety of community engagements and internal achievements that marked the year's final moments. St. Charles County Police Department took to social media to highlight recent activities, ranging from K9 care to expert discussions on fraud prevention.
One highlight from their post was the generous offer from a New Jersey woman, Midge, who created hand-made blankets for each of the department's K9s. In total, "A wonderful woman from New Jersey reached out & offered to handmake blankets for all of our K9s; active & retired," the St. Charles County Police Department post detailed. Moreover, education on fraud prevention was addressed by Det. Sgt. Ochs & Det. Anderson at a luncheon held by the St. Charles REALTORS Association, where they provided insights on how to avoid property scams.
The department's community involvement didn't end there. Chief Frisz engaged with local leadership about technological advances in crime prevention, speaking at an event hosted by Vision St. Charles County Leadership. The intent, to foster collaboration between agencies within St. Charles County and the broader St. Louis Metro Area, aimed at enhancing safety strategies and operational efficiencies. Meanwhile, School Resource Officer (SRO) Delp exemplified community spirit by donning a turkey hat and serving a Thanksgiving feast he personally prepared for pupils at Westwood Trail Academy.
A testament to the dedication within the department came through the recognition of Sgt. Burnes, Det. Johnson, and Sgt. Ronald, who were lauded for completing the FBI-LEEDA leadership course series, earning them the Trilogy Award. "During the training, Sgt. Burnes, Det. Johnson & Sgt. Ronald were recognized as Trilogy Award recipients," noted the St. Charles County Police Department post. This significant achievement highlights their commitment to leadership development, integrity, and the evolving nature of police work.
The year's celebrations were capped off with the department's involvement at #christmasintaylorville hosted at Family Arena, bringing joy to both officers and attendees alike. The post summarized by expressing gratitude to Baskets for Badges for providing treats to their K9 officers and looking forward to the coming year. "We hope you had a great 2025 & can't wait to see what amazing things we do in 2026," the St. Charles County Police Department concluded.
