Frontenac Police Department

The legal drinking age is 21. Any person under 21 caught with even a trace of alcohol will have their license suspended. Many substance-impaired drivers are under the age of 21. Please make good choices this weekend!

We would like to congratulate Corporal Todd Nothdurft on his recent milestone. Todd was recognized for 25 years of service with our department. Congratulations Corporal Nothdurft, and thank you for your continued service to the City of Frontenac and our community. Please be sure to congratulate Corporal Nothdurft when you see him on patrol.

Work Zone safety is in your hands. In 2020, 27 people were killed in work zone crashes in Missouri. Since 2000, 19 MoDOT employees have been killed in the line of duty, 13 of them in work zones. Please make sure in work zones to buckle up, put your phone down, slow down, follow the signs, and do not drink and drive.

Just a reminder that we are participating in the national drug take back today. Bring in your unused and unwanted prescription medications between 10am and 2pm today.

45% of drivers who were killed in crashes, and were tested for drugs, tested positive. This includes prescription drugs. If you're feeling a little high, buzzed, or stoned, never get behind the wheel. For more information visit: https://www.nhtsa.gov//if-you-feel-different-you-drive-dif

See the press release below from our Town And Country PD neighbors on the arrest of Craig Richey for multiple counts of burglary.

Now that the weather is turning cold outside everyone wants to get into a warm car, including thieves. Please do not leave your vehicle unattended while it is warming up. It only takes a matter of a few seconds for an opportunistic thief to drive away with your car. Also, to stay safe never run your car in a closed garage because that creates the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Frontenac Police Department. Have safe enjoyable holiday.

The Frontenac Police Department would like to thank all those in this community who made donations of non-perishable food items over the past week.

The Frontenac Police Department thanks you again and wish you all a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Time to get ready for the #9pmroutine. The West County area has shown an increase in car break-ins lately due to holiday shopping. Do not become a victim!
