Function / Content

This series consists of day journals which record the daily activities of the police on duty at the Daly River Police Station. Details recorded include patrols; people questioned; people charged and a brief description of the person and charge, and meals provided. The time and name of the officer involved in the activity is also recorded. Notes are recorded in the margins of the entries. Information is also recorded in some journals relating to the use of police trackers. The details of the use and maintenance of horses are also recorded in some journals. Additional information is inserted in some journals relating to matters such as interstate vehicles stopped; property lists of people charged and instructions from senior police officers. The journals are also a source of information relating to local activities which may have drawn the attention of the police. NTRS 2089/P2, volume 1 includes regular reports of issuing rations to Aboriginal people, and notes the bombing of Darwin in the entry for 20 February 1942. The three volumes in NTRS 2089/P2 were transferred by Peter Dunham. NTRS 2089/P3 was originally processed as F278. Some language used in these records (which reflects the language used at the time the records were created) may be offensive. This series may contain references to Aboriginal people who have died, which may cause sadness and distress to their relatives. No offence has been intended by making these records available. Care and discretion should be used when viewing these records.
