🚔 Training Today. Prepared for Tomorrow.

The Boonville Police Department recently sent four officers to Advanced Active Shooter Incident Management (ASIM) training presented by C3 Pathways at the Boone County Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Center.

This training, provided through the National Center for Integrated Emergency Response (NCIER), brings law enforcement, fire, EMS, and other public safety professionals together to strengthen how agencies coordinate and respond during active shooter and other critical incidents.

We hope these skills are never needed—but being prepared matters. Training alongside our regional partners helps ensure that if a critical incident occurs, we are ready to work together to protect our community.

School Resource Officers Tyler Schanzmeyer and Brad Simmons, along with the Boonville Police Department, would like to wish all students, teachers, staff, and families a safe and successful first day of school tomorrow! We’re excited to welcome everyone back and look forward to another great school year. 📚✏️👮‍♂️

Here are some first day reminders:
⚠️ Know where the school zones are and speed limits.
⚠️ Respect school crossing guards and be mindful of crosswalks.
🚌 Stop for school buses who are loading and unloading children.
📱 Distracted driving reminder: Put the phone down—especially in school zones.
🎒 Be mindful of more pedestrians walking now that school is back in session.
🚗 Check with your local school if you are unaware of drop off/pick up procedures. Every school is different based on location. Prepare and give yourself extra time.
🧑‍🏫 Teacher appreciation: Thank educators, administrators, bus drivers, and school staff for keeping students safe.
👀 "See a problem, say something": Encourage students and parents to report safety concerns through the appropriate school or law enforcement channels.

🚨 DON’T MAKE IT EASY! LOCK IT. TAKE THE KEYS. 🚗🔑

Vehicle thieves are looking for an easy opportunity. An unlocked vehicle with the keys inside makes their job about as easy as it gets.

Before you head inside for the night:

🔒 LOCK your vehicle.
🔑 TAKE your keys with you.
👀 REMOVE valuables from plain sight.
🚗 NEVER leave your vehicle running unattended.

Even if you're parked in your own driveway. Even if you live in a quiet neighborhood. Even if you're only going inside for a few minutes.

Lock it. Take the keys. Don’t make your vehicle the easy one.

Please share and help us spread the word!

PRESS RELEASE Wanted S*x Offender Arrested at Rolling Hills Park

On August 10, 2026, at approximately 11:29 p.m., a Boonville Police Officer conducting extra patrol at Rolling Hills Park, 1040 West Ashley Road, contacted a male subject inside the park after its posted closing hours.
The individual was identified as Andrew Capps (26) of Columbia, Missouri. During the officer's investigation, Boonville Police Dispatch advised that Capps had an active, nationwide extraditable federal warrant for his arrest and was a registered s*x offender.
When the officer attempted to detain Capps, he fled on foot, and the officer initiated a foot pursuit. Capps was apprehended a short distance later without further incident.
The outstanding federal warrant was subsequently confirmed through the United States Marshals Service and was related to a probation violation.
Further investigation revealed that Capps had reportedly been inside Rolling Hills Park for approximately two days.
Further investigation indicates that Capps is non-compliant with s*x offender registration requirements after allegedly absconding. Additional investigation concerning his s*x offender registration status is ongoing.
Capps was transported to the Cooper County Detention Center and booked on the outstanding federal warrant. The Boonville Police Department has referred the case to the Cooper County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for review and consideration of additional criminal charges, including resisting arrest, trespassing, and violations related to Capps' status as a registered s*x offender.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be sought as further information is developed.
All persons accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
