About Barrow Island Police Station

Barrow Island Police Station is the WA Police Force station for Barrow Island, part of Pilbara District in Western Australia. It covers Barrow Island and the surrounding waters. 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.

Barrow Island is a Class A nature reserve and restricted-access industrial site operated under strict quarantine and security controls, so it does not have a public front counter in the way a town station does. Access is limited to authorised personnel. For any policing matter connected to Barrow Island, contact the WA Police Force on 131 444, or 000 in an emergency.

Barrow Island 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 Barrow Island, 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 Barrow Island 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 Barrow Island 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 Barrow Island Police Station?

If police have arrested you in the Barrow Island area, your legal rights remain in force. People arrested in the area are often taken to South Hedland 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.

  • Police interviews
  • Bail applications
  • Criminal investigations
