Police Gazettes really are an untapped source of information of information for the genealogist. They contain such a wealth of information not only if you had a relative who was in the Victorian Police Force. You may find that they were on the wrong side of the law - or that they were a victim of a robbery or assault, or even just a missing person or a witness to an event - the details can all be found in the Police Gazettes.

Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, the Police Gazettes contain fascinating details and information that can not be found anywhere else. Each issue is usually eight (or so) pages, and contains information on changes within the police force such as promotions, demotions, resignations, dismissals, deaths etc. Also details on rewards, housebreak-ins, robberies, arson, murders, inquests, lost horses and cattle, deserters, escaped prisoners, missing friends, lost, found and stolen items, reports on those apprehended and discharged, and so much more. Notices from interstate police gazettes are often included.
