The city’s police presence has historical significance. The former courthouse and police station complex in Darwin traces back to the 1870 Palmerston Police Station. While the original timber buildings decayed due to white ants, new stone cells were built in 1881 and in 1884 a new courthouse and police station were constructed using durable materials. The courthouse withstood the bombing of Darwin in 1942, whereas the police station was demolished, and the site has since played various official roles, including Naval Headquarters and, after restoration, the offices of the Administrator[5].
