We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live – the Darug people – and we pay respect to their elders, past and present, and to their living culture that has survived for over 60,000 years. Since European settlement in 1788, Parramatta was one of the earliest places to have a regulated police force. In 1838, Governor George Gipps, established a Police Force at Parramatta with his Act to maintain “the public peace and good order and for the prosecution of certain offences”. In 2003, Parramatta became the centre of policing in New South Wales when Police Headquarters moved to Charles Street, Parramatta. PARRAMATTA PAC POLICE STATION
Today, Parramatta Police Area Command provides a 24-hour community policing service – across the suburbs of Constitution Hill, Harris Park, North Parramatta, Northmead, Old Toongabbie, Parramatta, Pendle Hill, Wentworthville, Westmead, and Winston Hills. On 14th March, 2022, our Parramatta Police Station at 95 Marsden St, Parramatta, temporarily closed whilst a new station is built on the existing site. Counter services will be available from Wentworthville Police Station, which now operates 24hours day/7 days per week and is across the road from Wentworthville Railway Station. We anticipate the new Parramatta station will open in 2024 and we thank the community for their patience and understanding while these important works occur. OUR COMMUNITY
Our police area has a diverse community, which is rich in culture, language, and religion. In 2016, there were 82,174 people living in the local area, and over 43,000 people journeyed to Parramatta for work every weekday. Parramatta central business district is experiencing rapid growth and is the second largest in Sydney, and the sixth largest in Australia. Westmead is home to one of the largest health, education, research and training precincts in Australia and spans across an area of 75-hectares, and is undergoing significant growth and development.
