One disadvantage of this number is that (for instance) if you see a crime in
progress and can only get to a pay phone, you need money to make the call to
the Police Assistance Line (PAL) as 13 calls are not free. I'd call being
assaulted on a train (or the immediate threat of it as may have been the
case in the original situation) as more worthy of a Triple 0 call.

info as a public service without comment.........

Police Assistance Line - 131 444
When you need to call the police, our new number will make life easier.



131 444

When a problem comes along in your life, we want to hear about it.

That's why we now have just one, easy to remember phone number for reporting
anything that isn't an emergency.

Things like car theft, lost property, burglary, damage to property,
reporting a minor car accident, and stealing.

You can call the Police Assistance Line, 24 hours a day, from anywhere in
the state, and one of our specially trained operators will take the time to
listen and understand your problem.

They'll make a report, and should you need one, they'll despatch a police
car from your local police station.

And while we're helping you, the entire community will benefit from more
police being freed up to be out there on the street.

So keep our number handy, and when you need us, calling the police won't
turn into a drama.


The Police Assistance Line.
With your help, a safer community.
