Media and Public Affairs is responsible for ensuring effective and timely public messaging to keep the community informed about public safety and crime issues as well as other broader issues that impact on the people of Queensland.

The Media Operations Room is a 24/7 liaison point for police and media around the state. Members of the media unit come from a range of backgrounds including journalism, corporate communications and operational policing.

The room is staffed by sworn and unsworn personnel to provide statewide operational support, managing media inquiries and publishing information to the public.

Qld Police Museum

Our Vision is to be a community-connected and culturally safe police museum.

Our Mission is to openly and honestly share the history of Queensland policing by exploring the diverse experiences of policing and being policed.

These four pillars embody the core strategies and values that underpin the museum's work, each serving to advance the vision and mission by outlining key areas of focus and action.

1. To share our history with honesty and transparency, to build trust and confidence within the communities we serve.
2. To interpret the stories involved in Queensland policing with compassion and critical insight, embracing multiple perspectives to deepen understanding.
3. To collect and preserve the tangible and intangible history of Queensland policing, by seeking out diverse and marginalised stories and voices.
4. To steward the knowledge of Queensland policing with care and integrity, ensuring it remains accessible, accurate, and enduring as a trusted resource for future generations.
