Police media releases and official publications

Media releases, news, alerts and notices published by official bodies, collected as they appear, normalised into one schema and kept permanently. Every edit a publisher makes in place becomes a new version, and a document the publisher later deletes stays in the archive, marked removed. Each publisher is listed with its jurisdiction, type, licence and required attribution, so one query can ask for police releases in a state, from one publisher, or from one of a publisher's own sections.

Coverage
South Australia Police media releases, collected continuously since 26 September 2026 from all 16 of its listing sections: the front page lists, four metropolitan districts, seven regions, traffic, public transport and missing persons. 498 releases measured 27 September 2026. Other publishers are added one at a time and listed at /api/v1/publishers.
Freshness
Front-page lists are read every 5 minutes and every other section every 20 to 30, with a full walk of every section once a day. An edit appears as a new version on the next read.
Provenance
Each publisher's own website, under the licence recorded in the publisher registry and listed at /api/v1/attribution. South Australia Police releases are used under CC BY 4.0.
Access
Every plan: free keys see the last 7 days, paid plans the whole archive.
