The Peoria Housing Authority does not tolerate gang or drug activity. All it takes is one offense and residents lose the privilege of living in affordable public housing. Because of the "One Strike and You're Out!" initiative, the crime rate in PHA developments has dropped more than 65% since 1994.
The following information, provided by the City of Peoria Police Department, reflects the amount of Part I Index Crimes by aggregate summary (Harrison, Taft and the former Warner Homes).
