Peoria Police Department -- June 9, 2011

On this trip, we visited the Peoria Police Department and viewed holding cells, line up rooms, interview rooms, and a museum that houses equipment, photographs, and evidence collected over the last 80 years.

Our tour also included the adjacent Emergency Communications Center, where we observed and learned how the trained staff handles emergency calls for all of Peoria County law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services while providing critical information in emergency situations to both officers and citizens.

OLLI thanks Officer Doug Burgess and the Peoria Police Department for their hospitality! For more information, please visit the department's website: www.ci.peoria.il.us.
