Oz-Cop app — terms of use
The Oz-Cop app is a product of OZ-COP PTY. LTD. It opens one of three apps, each also a product of OZ-COP PTY. LTD.: Q-Cop (Queensland), NSW-Cop (New South Wales) and WA-Cop (Western Australia). Each app shows you its own Terms of Use before you first use it, and asks you to agree to them. They are set out below, as each app shows them.
Q-Cop (Queensland) — Terms of Use
Version 4.0, 21 September 2026
Please read these before you use Q-Cop. You will only be asked again if they change.
What Q-Cop is
Q-Cop is a personal reference tool that brings Queensland policing legislation and QPS procedure together in one searchable place. It is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
Q-Cop is not a Queensland Police Service application. It is not produced, endorsed, approved or supported by the Queensland Police Service, and it carries no QPS authority. It is an independent product, owned and operated by OZ-COP PTY. LTD. (“Oz-Cop”).
Not legal advice
Q-Cop does not provide legal advice. Legislation, regulations and police procedures change, and they can be interpreted differently depending on the facts of a particular case. Nothing in Q-Cop is a substitute for legal advice, for QPS policy and training, or for the direction of a supervising officer.
Your professional responsibility
Do not act, or decide not to act, on the basis of anything in Q-Cop without checking the source it links to. Every entry links to the original legislation or manual. Where a decision matters, open the link and read the source. Using Q-Cop at work remains subject to the QPS policies that apply to you.
Guides and QP9 templates
The Guides are written for Q-Cop from the QPS manuals and the legislation. They are summaries set out in the order an officer does the job — they can simplify, and they are not a copy of the manual.
- Each guide entry names the manual section and page, and the Act section, it came from.
- Where a guide and its source differ, the source is the authority.
- The QP9 Facts Templates are drafted wording, not QPS forms. They carry no QPS endorsement — change the words to fit your facts.
Accuracy and currency
Every effort is made to reproduce and summarise source material accurately and to keep it current, but no guarantee is given that it is complete or up to date. Manuals and legislation are reissued regularly, and there may be a period after a reissue before Q-Cop is updated. The linked original always prevails over anything in this app.
Ask Q-Cop — the AI feature
Ask Q-Cop searches the material in this app, shows you the passages that answer your question with a link to the original, and writes a summary above them. The summary is written by AI and can be wrong — even when the passages beneath it are right. Read the passages. Open the link. Do not act on the summary alone.
- Your question is sent to Anthropic, the provider of the Claude AI service, to be answered. Anthropic is based in the United States, so your question leaves Australia.
- Q-Cop keeps your question and its answer for 30 days to improve Ask Q-Cop, then deletes them automatically. Common personal details (emails, phone numbers, dates, reference and registration numbers) are masked automatically. It can't catch every format and can't mask names, so please don't type them. Nothing is kept that links a question to you — not your email, account or device. Anthropic deletes questions it receives within 30 days (longer only if flagged under its usage policy) and does not use them to train its AI.
- Never type information about a real person, incident or investigation — names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, QPRIME or occurrence numbers, registrations, or any detail about a victim, witness, suspect or offender. Doing so may breach QPS information security policy. Ask about the law, not about your job.
- Ask Q-Cop only searches what is in this app. It does not know the facts of your matter.
- Everything in 'Not legal advice' and 'Your professional responsibility' applies to it in full.

Changes to these terms
These terms may change as Q-Cop changes. When they do, you will be asked to read and agree to them again before you continue.
By selecting "I agree" you confirm that you have read and understood these terms, that you understand Q-Cop is an independent tool and not a Queensland Police Service application, that you will check anything you rely on against the linked source, and that you will not enter information about any real person, incident or investigation into Ask Q-Cop.

Please read these before you use WA-Cop. You will only be asked again if they change.
What WA-Cop is
WA-Cop is a personal reference tool that brings Western Australian policing legislation together in one searchable place, with guides written from it. It is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
WA-Cop is not a WA Police Force product. It is not produced, endorsed, approved or supported by the WA Police Force, and it carries no WA Police Force authority. It is an independent product, owned and operated by OZ-COP PTY. LTD. (“Oz-Cop”).
Not legal advice
WA-Cop does not provide legal advice. Legislation, regulations and police procedures change, and they can be interpreted differently depending on the facts of a particular case. Nothing in WA-Cop is a substitute for legal advice, for WA Police Force policy and training, or for the direction of a supervising officer.
Your professional responsibility
Do not act, or decide not to act, on the basis of anything in WA-Cop without checking the source it links to. Every entry links to the original legislation or document. Where a decision matters, open the link and read the source. Using WA-Cop at work remains subject to the policies that apply to you.
WA-Cop does not hold the WA Police Manual. Where a step depends on WA Police Force policy, check WA Police policy or seek supervisor guidance.
Guides
The Guides are written for WA-Cop from the Western Australian legislation; the Incident Command guide summarises ANZPAA's national ICCS Plus framework, with ANZPAA's permission. They are summaries set out in the order an officer does the job — they can simplify, and they are not a copy of any document.
- Each guide entry names the Act section, or the document and page, it came from.
- Where a guide and its source differ, the source is the authority.
Accuracy and currency
Every effort is made to reproduce and summarise source material accurately and to keep it current, but no guarantee is given that it is complete or up to date.
