About Balgo Police Station

Balgo Police Station is the WA Police Force station for Balgo, part of Kimberley District in remote Western Australia. It covers the Balgo (Wirrimanu) Aboriginal community and the surrounding communities in the south-east Kimberley. Officers based there investigate a broad range of matters, from traffic and drink driving to assault, family violence and restraining order matters, drug offences, stealing, fraud, and other criminal matters.

This station is a Multi-Function Police Facility serving a remote Aboriginal community rather than a standard town station. Staffing can vary, and matters in the area may be coordinated with the nearest larger station. For any policing matter, contact the WA Police Force on 131 444, or 000 in an emergency, and it is worth confirming where a person in custody is being held.

Balgo Police Station is not staffed on fixed hours and may be unattended when you call or visit. If the station is unmanned, police direct the public to call 131 444, or 000 in an emergency. Because cover is shared with other stations in the district, it is worth confirming where any person in custody is actually being held.

For non-urgent police assistance anywhere in the district, including Balgo, call the WA Police Force on 131 444, or 000 in an emergency. Direct station numbers can change, so it is worth confirming the current number for Balgo Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.

Attendance may be voluntary, to answer bail, to give a statement, or to follow an arrest. Whichever applies to you, understanding your rights and getting advice first protects your position.

Have Police Asked You To Attend Balgo Police Station?

Some people think going in voluntarily means they are safe, when police may be using the interview to advance an active case.

Should officers have phoned, served a notice to attend, or asked for a recorded interview, speak with a lawyer before you proceed.

Our criminal defence lawyers can explain:

  • Whether you are required to attend;
  • Whether you should participate in an interview;
  • Your right to silence;
  • Potential criminal charges; and
  • The best strategy to protect your interests.

Arrested And Taken Into Custody At Balgo Police Station?

If police have arrested you in the Balgo area, your legal rights remain in force. People arrested in the area are often taken to Broome Police Station or another staffed facility, so it is worth confirming exactly where you or a family member is being held.

It is wise to consult a lawyer before you participate in an interview, make admissions, or go along with requests.

Hugo Law Group can provide urgent legal advice regarding:

  • Police interviews
  • Bail applications
  • Criminal investigations
  • Search warrants
  • Forensic procedures

Advice obtained early can often prevent mistakes that are later used as evidence in court.
