Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Strathpine - Brendale sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Strathpine - Brendale is policed by the Queensland Police Service Petrie Division, which also covers Kallangur, Petrie, Cashmere, Bray Park, Dakabin and Lawnton. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Strathpine - Brendale specifically.
Most-reported offences · Petrie Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)2,148 /100k−18% vs QLD↑ 2%
- Drug Offences1,739 /100k+4% vs QLD↑ 41%
- Assault602 /100k−43% vs QLD↓ 12%
- Unlawful Entry295 /100k−56% vs QLD↓ 26%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle173 /100k−49% vs QLD↓ 5%
- Robbery39 /100k−15% vs QLD↑ 8%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Petrie Division — not Strathpine - Brendale 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 Petrie Division over the last 12 months, running 18% below the Queensland rate and flat on the year before. None of this is specific to Strathpine - Brendale — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
