The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is deeply saddened by the passing of former Commissioner of Police Steve Gollschewski AO APM, following a courageous battle with cancer, today.

Steve’s legacy of service, courage, integrity and dedication will be remembered with great respect and gratitude by the many people and communities influenced by him.

His leadership through some of the most complex and significant moments in recent years reflected the confidence placed in him across the Service, government and the broader community. He was admired by many for his judgement, foresight and deep understanding of policing, and his impact will continue to be felt across Queensland, nationally and internationally for many years to come.

The QPS extends its sincerest condolences to Steve’s family, friends, colleagues and all who knew him during this difficult time.

With a career spanning more than 46 years, former Commissioner Gollschewski was the third longest serving police officer in QPS’ history.

Former Commissioner Gollschewski was appointed Queensland’s 21st Police Commissioner on 22 April 2024 and retired on 20 February 2026.

With honour he served.
