COVID-19 response
*** Information about COVID-19 and how to comply with the new directions can be found on the ACT Health website. ****
We want to reassure you all that ACT Policing is committed to keeping Canberra safe.
We're doing our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the community. We are taking precautionary measures and will continue to act on the most current health advice.
If you need to contact police, remember these numbers:
- Triple Zero (000) – only in an emergency or life-threatening situation
- Police Assistance (131 444) – when you require help but it's not life threatening or a time critical emergency
In times like these we need to remain calm, be kind and respectful. We are all in this together.
Official ACT Policing information and updates will be announced on ACT Policing's Facebook page.
