About the band
The band was formed in 1966 and performs a lively community engagement role for the WA Police Force, helping to show a different side of policing to the community by using the power of music and positive interaction.
In addition to WA Police Force ceremonial duties, the band also perform at around 240 community engagements throughout WA, and in addition to social media, TV and radio figures, they directly perform in front of over 1 million members of the community each year.
They also run a highly successful schools and youth interaction program, performing to over 40 primary schools around the state annually.
Band officers perform a dual role for the Police Force by also working at various local police stations, mounted, dog squad, prosecuting, recruiting and other specialist units two day per week, providing direct support to our Frontline.
The band occasionally travels around the state and interstate and all funds for these endeavours are raised by the band member’s in their own time, so attendance can be achieved at little to no cost to the Government or to the WA Police Force.
All required funds are facilitated by the band’s Supporter’s Association and their successful ‘Friends of the Band’ program.
