Notes
This agency documentation has been prepared as part of a project on the archives of the Otago Provincial Government. It, therefore concentrates almost exclusively on the Provincial period (1853-1876). It has been assumed however, that the agency continued to exist after 1876, but with different controlling organisation.
The documentation has been prepared almost exclusively from the annual returns for the Police Department, in the AOV&P, 1863-1876. Returns for some years are not printed, however, which may mean there are some minor errors in the documentation, e.g. exact dates of stations, or the possible omission of stations that existed only in a year for which the return was not printed. Years for which no returns are given are 1867, 1872, and 1873.

[history] => In 1863 St John Branigan (Commissioner of Police in Otago ) split Otago into several districts, the Officer-in-Charge of each district being responsible direct to the Police Commissioner. Each district had several police stations, though changes in population and resources meant that the districts were adjusted from time to time. Branigan pointed out the multiplicity of duties by the Otago police:
...such as inspection of slaughter yards, registration of dogs, crown lands rangers, inspection of licences, the collection and supervision of tolls, the performance of branch mails, and shortly, as I hope, the inspection of weights and measures, for none of which do they receive extra pay. [20 December 1868, cit. Annual Report, 1869, AOV&P, 1869, Session 25, p. 46].
In the Provincial period, staff numbers at the Dunstan station ranged between two and nine, and at the Clyde station between two and six. Other stations had between one and four staff. [Annual reports, AOV&P].
The Dunstan Police were responsible also for the District Gaol at Clyde.

At one of the stations are the head-quarters of the officer in charge of the district, which is in most cases designated by the name of the station. The stations, with the exception of the head-quarters' station, are placed in charge of a non-commissioned officer, and where the station is of minor importance, in charge of a constable. In either case the party in charge is responsible to the officer in charge of the district for the locality over which he is placed.
From the auriferous nature of the Province, and the migratory character of a great portion of the population....it is not possible to decide what shall be, for any lengthened period, the number of stations in each particular district. The number and boundaries of districts must necessarily be varied from time to time, as circumstances require, it often happening that a district of no great importance becomes, in a very short time, from an increase of population, far more than one officer can control.'

- details of organisation, structure, procedures
- districts, stations (including goldfields)
- 'The Province is divided into certain districts, and these again are sub-divided into stations. At one of the stations are the head-quarters of the officer in charge of the district, which is in most cases designated by the name of the station. The stations, with the exception of the head-quarters' station, are placed in charge of a non-commissioned officer, and where the station is of minor importance, in charge of a constable. In either case the party in charge is responsible to the officer in charge of the district for the locality over which he is placed.
From the auriferous nature of the Province, and the migratory character of a great portion of the population....it is not possible to decide what shall be, for any lengthened period, the number of stations in each particular district. The number and boundaries of districts must necessarily be varied from time to time, as circumstances require, it often happening that a district of no great importance becomes, in a very short time, from an increase of population, far more than one officer can control.' (p. 90)

Notes
This agency documentation has been prepared as part of a project on the archives of the Otago Provincial Government. It, therefore concentrates almost exclusively on the Provincial period (1853-1876). It has been assumed however, that the agency continued to exist after 1876, but with different controlling organisation.
The documentation has been prepared almost exclusively from the annual returns for the Police Department, in the AOV&P, 1863-1876. Returns for some years are not printed, however, which may mean there are some minor errors in the documentation, e.g. exact dates of stations, or the possible omission of stations that existed only in a year for which the return was not printed. Years for which no returns are given are 1867, 1872, and 1873.
