Media and Public Affairs

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.

The Public Affairs team manages public relations campaigns and proactive media projects to build community trust and confidence in the QPS. 

Media and Public Affairs maintains the myPolice network and social media sites, including Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, which have become vital tools enabling the QPS to engage with our local communities.

• We collect, document, preserve and display the history and traditions of the Queensland Police.
• We promote a better understanding of police services in the wider community by establishing an educational venue for all students from the primary through to the tertiary sector.
