Palmerston Police Station
The Northern Territory Government is improving safety in the Palmerston and surrounding areas through building a new police facility on the corner of Temple Terrace and Farrah Boulevard.
The new Palmerston Police Station will provide Palmerston and rural residents with a modern policing facility that will accommodate the region’s needs for effective contemporary policing for at least the next 30 years.
The police facility will:
- include a new Police Station and Watch House which will provide 24 hour police services for the Palmerston and regional area

- include a secure front counter, multiple meeting/ interview rooms and a waiting area with toilets and shower
- a new Emergency Response Operations Centre, providing Emergency Services a dedicate location to services the Palmerston region.
