It is a good starting point when you want to reach a department but do not have a specific name. Between the contact page and the online directory, the Peoria phone directory covers every city employee and office that deals with the public.

The directory gets updated as staff changes happen, so numbers you find there should be current. If a number does not work, call the main line at 309-494-8381 and ask for the latest contact information.

Police records requests go through the department's records division. Call the non-emergency line and ask to be transferred, or visit the police department in person during business hours. The Peoria phone directory lists the police under public safety along with the fire department and emergency management. Police reports, accident reports, and other documents are available under Illinois FOIA rules, though some records may be restricted if they involve open cases or protected personal information.

Peoria Public Records and FOIA

The Peoria FOIA portal is an online tool where you can submit and track FOIA requests to the city. This portal shows the status of your request and lets you communicate with the FOIA officer electronically. It is one of the easier systems to use among Illinois cities.

Under the Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205), local governments in Illinois must preserve their public records and make them available when requested. Peoria follows this law for all city documents, including the phone directory, staff rosters, department budgets, and meeting records. If you want a copy of the Peoria city phone directory or any other public document, submit a request through the portal or contact the city clerk at 309-494-8565.

The first 50 pages are free for most requests. After that, the city charges about 15 cents per page. Electronic records may be sent at no cost depending on the format and size. If the city denies your request, they must provide a written explanation, and you can appeal to the Illinois Attorney General.

Note: Peoria's online FOIA portal tracks all requests with a reference number, so you have a record of every step in the process.
