Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Taigum - Fitzgibbon sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Taigum - Fitzgibbon is policed by the Queensland Police Service Carseldine Division, which also covers Carseldine, Aspley and Chermside West. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Taigum - Fitzgibbon specifically.
Most-reported offences · Carseldine Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)1,537 /100k−42% vs QLD↓ 14%
- Assault558 /100k−47% vs QLD↑ 15%
- Drug Offences555 /100k−67% vs QLD↑ 15%
- Unlawful Entry273 /100k−60% vs QLD↓ 21%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle146 /100k−57% vs QLD↓ 25%
- Robbery26 /100k−43% vs QLD↓ 61%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Carseldine Division — not Taigum - Fitzgibbon 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 Carseldine Division over the last 12 months, running 42% below the Queensland rate and down on the year before. None of this is specific to Taigum - Fitzgibbon — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
