The New South Wales Police Gazette and Weekly Record of Crime was initially published on 2 January 1854 as the New South Wales Reports of Crime and was initially published several times per week by the Office of the Inspector General of Police for distribution to all police stations. The NSW State Archives and Records describe it as containing "details of crimes committed, persons to be apprehended, descriptions of stolen property and rewards offered, lists of regimental and ships deserters, and other police notices concerning recovery of property, apprehension of suspects previously sought, and dismissals of police officers for unsatisfactory conduct".

The gazette continued to be published until 14 July 1982, however records after 1930 are not publicly available.
