Come a gutser, lately? Need the local divvy van to help you out? Then start looking up law enforcement departments in your local area. If you are in need of emergency assistance then you can dial 000 from any phone. (112 for some phones) Even most cell phones will connect to a local police department.
The national emergency line puts you in contact with a Telstra operator who can connect you with police, fire or ambulance services. What if you have a police matter that’s no directly related to an emergency? Then it’s time to call your local department, which is accessible in the Australian White Pages.
Other primary means of contact for Australian law enforcement include the Australian Federal Police and the Emergency Management in Australia Department. You can also contact law enforcement services in Australia by region: namely, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia.
Crime is always a problem in Australia, though the crime rate is not exceptionally high. Police officers are honest and approachable. As with any location, be careful after nightfall. Residents are actually far likelier to be killed or injured by a car on the road. So keep a careful look out of your surroundings as you travel.
