WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Police Station Opening Hours The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): The Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services has been advised: South Australia Police (SAPOL) advised the Family Law Courts of the changes to police station front counter opening hours on 24 August 2016. SAPOL considered the safety of any person attending a police station outside of front counter opening hours and as a result, in September 2017, all police stations in the metropolitan area, that do not have 24/7 front counter services had emergency telephone intercoms installed which provide persons with immediate access to police assistance via direct line to '000'. The metropolitan area is serviced by 14 police stations, of which five are open 24/7. Police stations that do not provide 24-7 front counter service have signage advising of the nearest 24/7 police station, along with contact numbers for police. In November 2018 the opening hours of Norwood, Henley Beach and Glenelg police station front counter services were reviewed and extended.
