Peoria Approves Home Detention Program

The Peoria City Council agreed to allow city law enforcement officials to draft an ordinance that would allow those charged with DUI, shoplifting or small thefts to be placed under house arrest. A home detention program would save the city between $100,000 to $200,000 a year. Peoria would join Glendale, Surprise, Goodyear, Phoenix and other cities with such policies. A one year pilot program will start on July 1, 2011.
