Peoria Park District police officers must successfully complete the state mandatory basic training requirement prescribed by the Illinois Training and Standard Board.

They work to keep our parks and facilities safe for our community by focusing on building relationships with users and neighbors. As fully commissioned officers, they also support other local law enforcement across our community.
