About Port Hedland Police Station

Port Hedland Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Port Hedland and the surrounding area within Pilbara District. It covers Port Hedland and the surrounding coastal communities. 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.

Port Hedland Police Station operates limited front-counter hours rather than around the clock. Outside those hours, urgent matters in the area are handled through South Hedland Police Station or by calling 131 444. If you are asked to attend for an interview, it will usually be arranged during opening hours, which gives you time to speak with a lawyer before you go.

For non-urgent police assistance anywhere in the district, including Port Hedland, 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 Port Hedland Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.

You might attend voluntarily, to answer bail, to provide a statement, or following an arrest. In any of these, understanding your rights first protects your interests.

Have Police Asked You To Attend Port Hedland Police Station?

The idea that voluntary attendance means you are not under investigation is widespread, but police frequently interview during a live inquiry.

If police have called, handed you a notice to attend, or sought a recorded interview, it is sensible to get advice before responding.

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.

An arrest near Port Hedland Police Station does not take away the legal protections you are entitled to. 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.

Before you engage with questioning, make any admissions, or consent to a request, speak to a lawyer first.
