When you contact <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong>, specifically trained Client <strong>Service</strong> Officers and <strong>Police</strong> Technical Advisors<br />

will receive and process your non-urgent reports and answer your general enquiries.<br />

Where appropriate, <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong> staff may issue you with a crime report number for insurance purposes.<br />

In many cases your report will be finalised on the first phone call.<br />

Community members, who choose to report non-urgent matters through <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong> 131 444 are assisting<br />

local officers with better allocation of police resources across the State.<br />

For example, when a community member chooses to report their power tools stolen from the back of their<br />

ute via <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong> instead of an officer attending the scene, this will directly enhance community safety<br />

through the time being reinvested into other operational priorities.<br />

To ensure all <strong>Queensland</strong>ers are aware of this additional service, the QPS has also launched the Think<br />

<strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong>. Call 131 444 public information campaign – designed to inform everyone about what to report<br />

through <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong> and when to call Triple Zero (000).<br />

The Think <strong><strong>Police</strong>link</strong>. Call 131 444 campaign includes advertising through television, print, radio and<br />

online. There is also a direct mail component to regional and rural areas of <strong>Queensland</strong> and an extensive<br />

publicity campaign.<br />
