Peoria County Public Safety & Justice Committee

The Peoria County Public Safety & Justice Committee met on September 23, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of updated intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) for juvenile detention bed space with other counties, setting a daily rate of $300 plus medical, dental, and health screening fees. The committee also approved appropriating $113,213.38 in grant funds to purchase two Caterpillar simulators for the probation department to enhance job readiness training. Additionally, a $30,739 bequest was allocated to expand a capital project at the Peoria County Adult Probation Services (PCAPS). The committee passed a resolution updating civil and criminal filing fees to comply with new state legislation effective January 1, 2027, which included a $5 increase in appearance fees. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to manage detention capacity, invest in training technology, and align fee structures with statutory requirements.
