Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Woodridge sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Woodridge is policed by the Queensland Police Service Logan Central Division, which also covers Kingston (Qld), Logan Central, Underwood and Loganlea. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Woodridge specifically.
Most-reported offences · Logan Central Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)6,564 /100k+149% vs QLD↑ 21%
- Drug Offences2,604 /100k+56% vs QLD↑ 3%
- Assault2,235 /100k+112% vs QLD↓ 7%
- Unlawful Entry1,215 /100k+80% vs QLD↓ 10%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle906 /100k+168% vs QLD↑ 13%
- Robbery181 /100k+300% vs QLD↓ 5%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Logan Central Division — not Woodridge 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 Logan Central Division over the last 12 months, running 149% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Woodridge — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
