Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the East Peoria Police Department is making some changes in how it responds to calls.
Effective immediately, if the call can be handled by telephone, the officer will contact the victim/complainant by phone to obtain the necessary information to complete a report and/or answer questions.
The change is being made out of an abundance of caution and an attempt to limit potential exposure of the COVID-19 virus to public safety personnel.
