Stations that have been closed are Aldinga, Netley, Glenelg, Henley Beach, Norwood, Salisbury and Golden Grove.

Assistant Commissioner Scott Duval says there will be no change to operational services provided by police in these areas.

“It is important to remember that the location of our ‘bricks and mortar’ stations does not impact on how long it takes police to respond to a call for assistance,” he says.

“General duties patrols are mobile and respond to tasking wherever they may be. If we receive a call from the public the closest available patrol will assist.”

The public should report anything suspicious by calling the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.

In an emergency dial Triple Zero (000), and if you want to provide information that may help solve a crime or about criminal activity, please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A range of services are also offered online – for people who want to report lost property, a minor collision, or cybercrime – visit the SA Police website.

For people who report to the affected police stations on bail, appropriate changes will be made and communicated to report to another station (if that condition is still required).

Those requiring a Justice of the Peace service should visit the find a JP website.

Further advice will be provided at a later date regarding the re-opening of those Police Stations which do not operate 24 hours.
