Peoria, IL – The Peoria Police Department confirmed Thursday that its communications system, including the public scanner feed, has been taken offline for maintenance after experiencing audio quality issues.
According to the department, the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) reported the issue earlier today, January 9, 2026, prompting officials to temporarily disable the system while repairs are underway.
Police said efforts are being made to restore the link “as quickly as possible.” The department did not specify an estimated time for full restoration but noted that emergency operations remain active and unaffected.
The communications link, often used by media and residents to monitor dispatch activity, has been experiencing intermittent disruptions in recent days, according to online scanner monitoring platforms.
Residents are encouraged to stay tuned to the Peoria Police Department’s official Facebook page for updates as maintenance continues.
