The Minister for Police and Community Safety, the Hon.

The station services an area spanning approximately 400 square kilometres, covering key locations such as Dayboro, King Scrub, Ocean View, Mount Pleasant, Laceys Creek, Samsonvale, Kobble Creek, Mount Samson, Cedar Creek and sections of Clear Mountain, Cashmere and Kurwongbah.

"We live in one of Queensland's fastest growing regions and that's why the Dayboro station has been designed to meet policing needs now and into the future.
"This is yet another example of the Miles Government backing frontline police with modern facilities and supporting our commitment to safer Queensland communities."
As stated by Acting Commissioner Shane Chelepy:
"Building a contemporary police station with feedback from the Dayboro locals attests to our commitment to putting the community first.
