The Police Gazettes are an incredibly unique source of information, simply
because they were designed to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, and
the information contained often cannot be found anywhere else.
Issued once a week, this CD-ROM is a compilation of all of the issues of the
South Australia Police Gazette that were issued 1931. Each issue is generally
twelve pages long, and contains information such as court lists, lists of
warrants issued, appointments and changes in the Police Service, lists of
arrests and discharges (which include descriptions), escaped prisoners, and
missing persons. Murders, arson, house-breakins, robberies, lost and found
items, stolen cars and motorbikes, details of licences granted (hawkers, marine
store collectors and special vehicle licences), as well as inquest verdicts.
There are numerous photographs included on those wanted, released or missing.
