Policing History explores historical interactions between police and the policed.
War and Police: Queensland Police Museum Exhibit
You are warmly invited to the War and Police, a new exhibition exploring the stories and experiences of Queensland police during the Great War.
Inspired by Dr Anastasia Dukova’s book Queensland Police in the Great War this exhibition explores the diverse experiences of officers who chose to enlist in the armed forces, those who remained in Queensland, and the challenges of policing the state during wartime.

Today is the National Police Remembrance Day. Each year, on September 29, vigils, services and marches are held nationally to commemorate National Police Remembrance Day to remember and honour all police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, and also remember and honour officers whose death did not occur as a consequence of their duty. Last month, August 2023, the Queensland Police Museum applied for the name of Billy Esldale to be added to the Queensland Police Honour Roll, based on this research.
