One year later: Today, 20 officers received their End-of-Probation letters from Chief Barton. They’ve successfully completed the first year of their police career and we expect many more successful years to come!

On this day in 1997, Officer Thomas Smith, Jr. made the ultimate sacrifice when he was killed in the line of duty. His service will never be forgotten. http://ow.ly/p8Jk30q7w6N

Look out for the Grinch! Now worries, it’s only Officers Lang and Meyer from the PAL Unit dressed up as Cindy Lou Who and The Grinch. They had fun greeting kiddos at Oakville Middle School today and even got in a game of dodgeball. We’ll miss these guys during break. Happy Holidays!

Hi from Santa and our Affton officers!

Up Up and Away! Thank you to everyone who drove through the South County Precinct's Trunk or Treat this past weekend! We loved seeing all the costumes and painted faces! See you next year!

We can all take an active part in keeping our communities safe. If you see something, say something. Our lines are always open.

It's almost time for the "9pm Routine." That means it's time to secure you belongings, lock your vehicles and make sure those garage doors are closed. Also, tomorrow morning on FOX 2 News, Sgt Justin Sparks will be talking about the importance of not leaving your cars unattended, like warming them up in the mornings. Be sure to check it out. Be safe. Stay healthy and have a great evening.

Sergeant Richard Weinhold, age 44, was killed in the line of duty on October 31, 2000. His sacrifice and dedication to the St. Louis County Police Department will never be forgotten. http://ow.ly/65hQ30q7w6u
