Queensland Police Service - Look to the Stars Acknowledgement PlaquePrint Page 
The "Look to the Stars" artwork and plaque acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands and Elders past, present and future and the significant contribution by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people towards the protection and safety of all people in our country. The artwork and plaque are incorporated into a mural painted by Darumbal Youth Services.
The plaque features the artwork "Look to The Stars." As we look to the stars, the Guiding Constellation lights up the sky, illuminating our way forward through trust, relationships and respect. The artwork incorporates Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles of policing as stars. The artwork was produced by Indigenous artist Jenna Lee from Gilimbaa who worked with a specialist reference group from the QPS to inform the artwork.
"Look to the Stars" was launched by the QPS in May 2018 and serves as a visual reminder of our past, present and future engagements with all Indigenous communities throughout Queensland. Former Commissioner Ian Stewart initiated a Look to the Stars ‘Acknowledgement to Country’ plaque that is gradually being placed at all QPS establishments.
Rockhampton QPS partnered with Darumbal Youth Services to produce outstanding artwork in Camerons Corner of Rockhampton Police Station.
The Look to the Stars artwork symbolises building stronger, meaningful relationships built on mutual trust and respect with all the diverse communities in our area.
