Check live crime stats in your suburb through the Townsville Bulletin

We’ve built an interactive tool you can use to track the numbers of reported crimes in your suburb, or postcode, with the numbers updated every day. Try it for yourself.

The Townsville Bulletin is calling on the government to be transparent in how it is dealing with crime, and is publishing crime figures, searchable by suburb, updated every day.​

Queenslanders are sick and tired after years of being victims of crime, burying family members, living through the trauma of vicious assaults, and having their hard-earned property stolen, with no real end in sight.

At least 15 deaths have been linked to alleged youth crime in the past two years – and alarmingly, six of those were in the last six months.

The Enough is Enough campaign calls for a commitment from both the government and opposition to publicly publish every six months the state’s results on three key performance indicators – the measures experts say are central to turning around the scourge of youth crime.

Advocates and experts say real action over time on addressing these three areas would be a far more effective response to tackling youth crime than the legislation Ms Palaszczuk plans to introduce to state parliament.

Until these goals are met, to give the issue the prominence it deserves, and to make sure those in power have it front of mind at all times, we’ve built an interactive data table you can use to track the numbers of reported crimes in your suburb, or postcode.

All you have to do is type your suburb, postcode, or find it in the drop down menu, and set the date range you want, with the data updated every day.

Every story we publish on police, courts, and crime, will include the new interactive at the bottom, while you can also find it under our Police and Courts Townsville section.
