About Us

As Commissioner of Police for the state of Queensland, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to the Web site and Home Page of the Queensland Police Service.

The Queensland Police Service is recognised as a lead agency in the area of information technology within the Australian law enforcement arena. This achievement is something which we as a Police Service are very proud of.

The realisation of our own Home Page continues to advance Queensland policing's effective use of that technology. We are pleased to join the international community in contributing to the ever increasing sources of useful information available to those who access the Internet.

R. ATKINSON
COMMISSIONER

Who we are and what we do

The About Us section provides information on The Service including our organisational structure and functions, locations and contacts.

The Service

Provides information on the Queensland Police Service including our Client Service Charter, Powers and Responsibilities, Organisational Structure, Information Privacy Plan, Rank Insignia, Disability Service Plan, Queensland Police Service Medal and the Right to Information and Privacy.

QPS Structure
Outlines our organisational structure including our Regions, Commands and Divisions.

Client Service Charter
Provides a statement of what our clients expect by way of service provided by the Department. The Client Service Charter sets out the expectations of the Queensland Police Service in relation to its own performance and the expectations it has of the community.

Police Station Locator
An A-Z index of Police Stations, Police Beat Shopfronts and Neighbourhood Police Beats.

Contact Details
Lists our contact details including Police Link and Crime Stoppers.  The Service also welcomes constructive feedback on the performance of our officers and staff in providing services to the community.

Relationships with other authorities
Provides related links to other government agencies, related policing sties and other sites of interest.

Volunteers in Policing
Volunteers in Policing (ViPs) are based in local police establishments where they work with police to address customer service, community safety and crime prevention needs in the community. The range of tasks they undertake complement rather than compete with the roles and responsibilities of paid police officers and staff members.

Commemoration
The Queensland Police Service record of deceased officers is split into three separate lists including the Role of Honour, In Remembrance and those that have Died on Active Service.  All of the officers on these lists died while on duty between the years 1859 and 2011.

History
Find out about our 130 year history from 1864-2010.  History provides us with detailed information on who and what we are as an organisation, as well as offering valuable guidelines about our future direction.

Facilities and Activities
Highlights those areas of The Service that may not otherwise be known or obvious to the general community including tours of Police Headquarters, Dog Squad, Mounted Police, Museum and our Pipes and Drums band.
