Does anyone have any information about the early history of Kingaroy Police Station? If so, Officer-in-Charge Senior Sergeant Duane Frank would like to hear from you.<\/p>\n

Workers building the new police station recently unearthed a watering trough, horse shoe and hobbles from the construction area.<\/p>\n

This was probably part of the old Police Paddock.<\/p>\n

The trough was in pieces but the iron items have been put aside for display in the new police station when it opens.<\/p>\n

The station that has just been demolished was built in 1967.<\/p>\n

Ironically, while the construction work continues, Kingaroy Police have shifted into the Artie Kerr building which is believed to have been part of the original police station and residence.<\/p>\n

The first Kingaroy Police Station is believed to have been built in 1908.<\/p>\n

On August 3, 1906, the Brisbane Telegraph reported that the government had accepted a tender from Neilson and Peterson to construct a new police station in Kingaroy for \u00a3424.10s.<\/p>\n

Six years later, the Brisbane Courier reported on November 27, 1912, that J.G. Jacobsen had won a tender to build a new cell and a constable’s room at the station for \u00a395.<\/p>\n
