About Bidyadanga Police Station
Bidyadanga Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Bidyadanga and the surrounding area within Kimberley District. It covers the Bidyadanga (La Grange) Aboriginal community south of Broome and the surrounding area. 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.
Bidyadanga 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 Bidyadanga, 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 Bidyadanga Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.
Have Police Asked You To Attend Bidyadanga Police Station?
It is a common misconception that being asked to attend a station voluntarily means you are not under investigation. In practice, police often use these interviews to gather evidence in a matter that is already underway.

Our criminal defence lawyers can explain:
- Whether you are required to attend;

- Your right to silence;
- Potential criminal charges; and
- The best strategy to protect your interests.
