The police station was closed in 2007 due to budget cuts. The two officers who patrolled over 145,000 square kilometres were transferred, one to Kalgoorlie and the other to Perth. The Police had built a community relationship with the local town which saw virtually no crime. Community Basketball was a big hit with the children and young adults alike which attributed to the close community ties and work of one of the Senior Constables. The officer and his wife regularly held movie nights at their house for Menzies children who looked forward to Friday nights and a meal. Friendships were formed for the officers which exist to the present day.
