ACT Policing Online Services

Community events and engagement Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Police attendance can be requested by any organisation, community group, sporting club or other group.

There is no cost associated with police attending your event in a public engagement capacity.

However, if your request is for operational policing services, please visit the Major Event Planning section of our website for more information.

It is important you submit your request with as much notice as possible ahead of the event date to give ACT Policing adequate time to consider the request, allocate resources if available and advise you of the outcome, as unfortunately not all requests can be facilitated.

You will be notified via email if your request has been accepted or declined.
