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 court lists, lists of warrants issued, appointments and changes in the Police Service, lists of arrests and discharges (which include descriptions), escaped prisoners, and sometimes missing persons ... and just so much more. Notices from Police Gazettes from other states are also often included. These are simply a goldmine of fascinating information for anyone.

Usually issued weekly, collected here together is 52 of the 53 issues that were produced during 1872.

Some example entries taken from the 6 August 1872 issue are:
