Every officer hired by the Pekin Police Department begins their career in our Patrol Division — the backbone of our agency and the foundation of professional law enforcement service.

Our Patrol Division is comprised of 34 dedicated officers who provide 24/7 coverage to the City of Pekin. As the front line of public safety, patrol officers are the first to respond when our community needs help most. From proactive crime prevention and traffic enforcement to responding to in-progress burglaries and violent crimes, our officers handle a wide range of calls that demand skill, integrity, and sound judgment.

Patrol is where you build experience, sharpen your instincts, and develop the confidence that defines exceptional police work. Our officers receive comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to ensure they are prepared for the realities of modern policing.

We equip our team with the latest tools and technology to help them perform their duties safely and effectively. At Pekin PD, you won’t just have a job — you’ll have the support, training, and equipment necessary to succeed.

If you’re ready to serve on the front line and make a meaningful difference every day, your career starts here.
