Source: Queensland Police Service, reported offences by police division (offences against the person and property), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Inala as defined by the source. Queensland publishes figures by police division, and a division usually covers several neighbouring suburbs, so these figures are for a wider area than the suburb itself. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.

Inala security tip
Security that suits renters
Many Inala homes are rented, including public housing, so drilling holes for cameras or changing locks may need approval. Battery-powered cameras and video doorbells that don't need wiring, door and window alarm sensors, and a small safe for valuables can all move with you. Ask the landlord or housing provider about deadlocks and security screens, and put the request in writing.
Inala homes and what they mean for security
Inala's streets were laid out by the Queensland Housing Commission from the 1950s, with low-set brick and timber homes on generous blocks, many since sold to owner-occupiers or replaced by duplexes and townhouses. The civic centre is a busy hub of small, family-run shops and restaurants. A large share of homes are rented, including public housing, so residents often need security options that don't require permanent changes.
