In these trying times, the WA Police Force Great Southern District would like to reassure the public we are always open for business. We will continue to operate 24 x 7 to ensure your safety but we have some requests of you, the public:
Please maintain calm within your community. The Premier has assured the Western Australian public resources will continue to be available and grocery stores and pharmacies will continue to operate throughout any shut downs. Being compliant with all State and Commonwealth directives helps us do our job looking after the community.

Look out for our most vulnerable, we are all in this together. We are aware of some scammers taking advantage of people’s generosity and exploiting the fear among community members. Remember, never give your personal banking details over the phone or email, ask for identification from any door-knockers claiming to be collecting from charities and report anything suspicious to Crime Stoppers (below). If you are concerned about potential scams, you may wish to check https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.
If you have an incident to report, please use the online or telephone options listed below. All of these options are available 24 x 7 and can be accessed from the comfort of your home.

To reduce the risk of contamination to the community and to our staff please don’t attend Police stations unless absolutely necessary, most issues can be dealt with over the phone or reported online. Please maintain physical distances of at least 1.5 metres if you must come to the stations. Per WA Health Department recommendations, please stay home if you are sick, or have been directly exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19. Call your local station to discuss your options if you are needing to come in.

In these trying times, we are doing our best to attend all our tasks in a timely manner. However, in order to maintain our high level of support to the community, there may be a delay in some non-urgent investigations.

Rest assured, we will continue to monitor and prioritise all incoming tasks as normal.
