Captain's Message

The  officers serving in the City of Fenton Precinct are committed to providing police services at the highest possible level.  We make this commitment so the people who reside in our City, attend our schools, work in our businesses, or enjoy the many amenities that Fenton has to offer, can do so knowing the area is one of the safest in Saint Louis County. 

This commitment is only possible through the assistance of our community.  The assistance we need is gained through the participation of our citizens in programs we sponsor such as the Citizen Police Academy, the Neighborhood Watch Program ,  and the annual National Night Out events.
 
In a recent review of available material it was determined that petty larcenies are one of the primary concerns within our community.   The petty larcenies are occurring primarily from unlocked vehicles, the majority of them on business parking lots.  To prevent these thefts, we recommend  locking your vehicle when it will be unattended for even a short period of time.  Additionally, we recommend that you leave nothing of value in plain view .   We ask our citizens to immediately report any suspicious behavior, such as persons loitering in parking lots,  or unfamiliar individuals walking in neighborhoods.

Please rest assured that our officers and myself will continually monitor the events occurring in our City.  As we identify issues affecting the City we will develop enforcement plans to address them.  As a part of our commitment to you, and your partnership with us, I will strive to ensure that you are kept up to date on the information available to me and the assistance we need from you.


Neighborhood Watch Member's Responsibilities

RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Secure your own property.
  • Call the police when you see suspicious activity or are the victim of a crime.
  • Attend Neighborhood Watch activities when possible.

NOTE: The Neighborhood Watch structure is NOT to be used when a resident needs a police officer dispatched for any reason. It is only used to coordinate the daily crime prevention efforts associated with Neighborhood Watch. Emphasize that residents should call the police directly when they need police service. Call 314- 889-2341 to have an officer dispatched to you or 911 if you have any type of emergency.

TIME FOR VACATION?

A few simple steps can help keep your home safe and reduce worry while you are away.

HAVE A TRUSTED FRIEND OR RELATIVE:

  • Collect your mail, newspapers and advertisements daily
  • Mow your lawn, water flowers and perform other yard work as needed
  • Park their car in your driveway when possible

STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE LEAVING:

  • Install timers on some lights, radios or televisions 
  • Install motion detector lighting or dusk-to-dawn sensors outside, eliminate dark areas.
  • If you have a burglar alarm, make sure it is properly set
  • Inspect all doors and windows including the garage doors to make sure they are properly secured

When you plan your vacation, take a few moments to call your neighborhood precinct to take advantage of our Vacation Inspection Program.

Remember; the more your home appears occupied while you are away, the less likely you are to become a burglary victim.

Report Crime ... Make the Call

If you see a crime in progress or another emergency situation that requires an immediate police response, call 911. Provide the call-taker with a good description of the incident, the offender, and the exact location.



For non-emergencies, however, do not call 911. Non-emergency calls to 911 can slow the response time to true emergencies. The number to call for non-emergencies is (314) 889-2341.
