Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Eagleby sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Eagleby is policed by the Queensland Police Service Beenleigh Division, which also covers Bethania - Waterford, Wolffdene - Bahrs Scrub, Mount Warren Park, Beenleigh and Edens Landing - Holmview. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Eagleby specifically.
Most-reported offences · Beenleigh Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)4,554 /100k+73% vs QLD↑ 21%
- Drug Offences2,195 /100k+32% vs QLD↑ 74%
- Assault1,200 /100k+14% vs QLD↓ 18%
- Unlawful Entry860 /100k+27% vs QLD↑ 11%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle601 /100k+78% vs QLD↑ 30%
- Robbery63 /100k+40% vs QLD↓ 11%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Beenleigh Division — not Eagleby on its own; the arrow compares the last 12 months with the 12 before.
Of these categories, other theft is reported most across the whole Beenleigh Division over the last 12 months, running 73% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Eagleby — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
