Disability Liaison Officers

Disability Liaison Officers (DLOs) are police officers who help people with disability to access police services.

Victoria Police have DLOs in place across Victoria in every Police Service Area. They are an important contact point for the disability community. 

What a Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) does

The DLOs are police officers that work with people with disability who encounter barriers to accessing police services. They can also help carers or the families of someone with disability. 

They work with the broader disability community in their local area. They also help their colleagues to better engage with the disability community.

You can find DLOs all around Victoria, in every Police Service Area.

How to report a crime

If you or another person is in danger right now, or could get badly hurt, call Triple Zero (000).

To report a crime that has already happened, but no one is in danger right now (a ‘non-urgent crime’), contact your local police station.

You can ask to speak to a DLO for advice and help reporting a crime. Contact them at your local police station. 

Call the Police Assistance Line (131 444) or make an online report for a non-urgent crime.

You can also call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report via their website. You do not need to say who you are.
