olice 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 Force, lists of arrests and discharges (which include physical descriptions), escaped prisoners, and sometimes missing persons.
The Queensland Police Gazettes also often include details of the licenceholders
of: Auctioneers, Victuallers, Hawkers, Billiards, Wine Sellers and more. Notices from
Police Gazettes from other states are also often included.

the Queensland 1890 years worth of issues.
