About Jigalong Police Station

Jigalong Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Jigalong and the surrounding area within Pilbara District. It covers the Jigalong Aboriginal community and the surrounding East Pilbara 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.

Jigalong is a remote Aboriginal community around 165 kilometres east of Newman, served by a Multi-Function Police Facility rather than a standard town station. Staffing can vary, and matters in the area may be coordinated with Newman. 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.

Jigalong 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 Jigalong, 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 Jigalong Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.

Some people attend after a request to be interviewed, others to answer bail or give a statement, and some are brought in following an arrest. In every case, understanding your rights before acting is the best safeguard for your matter.

Have Police Asked You To Attend Jigalong Police Station?

The belief that a voluntary attendance means you are not a suspect is common, but police often gather evidence through these very interviews.

Should police have phoned you, served a notice to attend, or asked you to participate in a recorded interview, speak with a lawyer before you engage.

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 Jigalong Police Station?

Being detained after an arrest in the Jigalong area does not remove your important legal rights. 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.

Speak with a lawyer before you participate in an interview, make admissions, or agree to any requests put to you by police.

Hugo Law Group can provide urgent legal advice regarding:

  • Police interviews
  • Bail applications
  • Criminal investigations
  • Search warrants
  • Forensic procedures
  • Traffic offences; and
  • Serious criminal charges.

Early advice can prevent errors that would otherwise be used against you in court.
