Police Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia. Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, these Gazettes therefore contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else.

They include details on rewards, housebreak-ins, robberies, arson, murders, lost and found items, deserters, escaped prisoners, missing friends, stolen cars and motorbikes, reports on those apprehended and released, licences for both hawkers and wool dealers, changes in the police force, inquest verdicts ... and so much more.
