Delivering our services The Service comprises eight regions dealing with operational and community policing issues. Three commands deal with major crime, specialist operational support and ethical standards, and a corporate services group manages administration, finance, human resources and information and communications technology functions. A complete corporate structure is shown on page 10.

Our history The Police Department was established by the Police Act 1863, which took effect on 1 January 1864. During more than 140 years of its history, the traditions of the QPS have been shaped by immense social changes, incredible advances in technology and the continual evolution of operational procedures. On 1 November 2000 Mr Bob Atkinson was appointed as the 17th Commissioner of Police in Queensland. 4 With honour we serve About us

Notes: • Staffing numbers refer to actual employees, not ‘full time equivalent’ employees. • Staff members are employees other than police officers or police recruits. • All staffing numbers are as at 30 June 2008.

VIPs offer support to police officers by carrying out a range of voluntary tasks that complement the responsibilities of QPS members—allowing officers to remain focused on their operational tasks.

Through waste, energy, water management and carbon emission reduction initiatives, the Service is able to lessen its impact on the environment.
