Q-Cop puts Queensland offences, police powers, legal definitions and the QPS manuals on your phone — and keeps them there, so it works in a dead spot, in a basement, or with your data turned off.

Reviews from Q-Cop members. Every review comes from a signed-in member and is checked before it appears.
Using Q-Cop? Leave a review in the app: open More, then Leave a review.
Everything is stored on the phone the first time you open it. After that the offences, powers, definitions and manuals never need the network — which is the point, because the places you most need to check a power are rarely the places with five bars.
No loading, no spinner, no waiting for a page. You are looking at the offence while the browser version is still connecting.
One email, one six-digit code, and that is the last you will hear of it. Q-Cop does not ask you to sign in again, and it never checks with a server before opening.
Ask a question in your own words and get a short answer drawn from the same legislation and QPS manuals — with the passages it used shown underneath, so you can check it.
Ask "what are the new e‑bike laws" or "helmet on an e‑scooter" and it finds the provisions that answer it, even when the Act uses different words. Every point in the answer is tied to a numbered passage you can open, with a link to the official source.
Ask Q-Cop uses AI. It can be wrong, or miss the section that matters. Read the passages, and never act on the summary alone. It is not legal advice.
Unlike the rest of Q-Cop, Ask has to reach the internet to answer. Each member has fifty questions a month. It is in the app now — tap Ask Q‑Cop.
What happens to your question is set out under Privacy, below.
Q-Cop is a new website, and new websites are blocked by default on the QPS network until they are specifically allowed. Install it on a personal phone, or on a device that is not on the QPS network, and sign in once. From then on the library works everywhere, including on duty and including with no signal, because nothing more needs to be downloaded.
Ask Q-Cop is the exception. It has to reach the internet every time you use it, so it will not work on a QPS device or network until Q-Cop is allowed there.
Q-Cop is not currently available on the QPS network.
Q-Cop is moving to its own home. Everything that was in the old app is here, along with the manuals, and it now works offline — which the old one never did. Open the link above and sign in with your email address. Nothing else to do.
Your email address, the date your account was created, and the dates you used the app. That is the entire record of you — unless you use Ask Q-Cop or leave a review.
Your email address is used to send your sign-in code and to tell you about the app. It is not sold, shared or passed to anyone else.
If you leave a review, the star rating, your words and the name you choose to show (or "Verified member") are stored and, once checked, shown on this page — never with your email address.
Searching Legislation, Guides and Manuals runs against the copy stored on your own device. The text you type is not sent anywhere and cannot be read by anyone — including whoever runs Q-Cop.
So you can go back to them, your phone keeps your last five searches and the last five records you opened, for 30 days. They stay on the phone and nowhere else, and you can clear them at any time.
This is not a policy choice that could quietly change: there is nowhere for that text to go, because the search happens on the phone and not on a server.
Ask Q-Cop answers questions using AI, so your question has to be sent away to be answered — it cannot happen on the phone. It is sent to Anthropic, the provider of the Claude AI service, which is based in the United States, so your question leaves Australia.
The question and the answer are kept for 90 days and used for one purpose only: making Ask Q-Cop better. After that they are deleted automatically.
No record is kept of who asked. Questions are not stored against your email address, your account or your device, and there is no way to trace one back to you.
Your phone also keeps your own last five questions and their answers for 30 days, so you can reopen them without asking again. That copy is on your phone only, and you can clear it at any time.
Because a question can name people, the app asks you not to type names, addresses or QPRIME numbers into Ask Q-Cop.
Every record in Q-Cop carries its own source, the date it was taken, and a link to the official version. Nothing is paraphrased from memory.
