The Gold Stealing Detection Unit (GSDU), or Gold Stealing Detective Squad (GSDS), is a special unit of the Western Australian Police, based in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. It investigates criminal activity and allegations at all stages of the gold production process in the state. The unit consists of a very small number of detectives but is the oldest specialist police service in Western Australia. The squad was formed in 1907, at a time when gold theft was rife in the region. It was formed after Detective Sergeant Kavanagh, in charge of the Kalgoorlie police, submitted a report in 1906 on the seriousness of gold theft in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. A Royal Commission determined in February 1907, that his allegations were justified and a special police service was formed in late 1907. More information...
