The Queensland Police Service (QPS) wants visitors and international students to enjoy their stay in Queensland. If you are involved in a crime, witness a crime, or feel unsafe, you can talk to a Queensland police officer. You can approach a police officer on the street or go to a local police station.
The Queensland Police uniform is blue with a badge on each shoulder. There are 2 types of uniforms you may see our officers wearing: a dark blue uniform, and a light blue uniform (see images below).
If you are in a public place and are approached by police, you may be required to supply your name and address, so it is a good idea to carry photo identification (such as a passport) with you.
Contacting police
For urgent matters, contact police via:
-
Emergency - triple zero (000)
For non urgent matters, contact police via:
-
Policelink - 131 444
- Your local police station
Our officers are easily recognisable and have 2 different uniforms.
This is the front of the dark blue uniform with an officer wearing a load bearing vest. There is also a light blue uniform.
The Qld Police emblem is in full view, as well as the officer's name tag.
If you are ever unsure if you are dealing with an officer, please ask to see their identification.
