Old Heavitree Gap Police Station - south Alice Springs
The first police station in Central Australia was a thatched mud-hut at the old Telegraph Station, built around 1872. It is believed that the first police officer was Mounted Constable Edward William Priest. Later, Constables John Charles Shirley, William Henry Willshire and Erwein Wurmbrand were based there.
In the mid 1880's, the Heavitree Gap Police Station was built and on April 21st 1886, Constables Willshire and Wurmbrand shifted all police property from the Telegraph Station to the new Police station. They began operating from there the next day assisted by N/C's Peter Willie Wilkie Collins and 'Fred', (both presumably aboriginal).
