You’ve done your time—or were never even convicted—but Google still shows the worst version of your name.
If an Australian news outlet has published your name in connection with a police report, arrest, or investigation, it can haunt your life long after the event is over. Whether it’s fair or not, public perception is shaped by Page 1—and most people won’t look beyond the headline.
At Reputation Station Australia, we specialise in suppressing police-related articles, mugshots, and legal mentions from dominating search results.
Why Police Reports Go Public—and Stay Public
Most major news outlets in Australia publish police activity as part of routine reporting. That means:
- Your name and suburb can be included in “crime roundups”
- Articles are indexed by Google within hours
- Even if you were never charged or later cleared, the story stays online
- The article may omit critical context or updates
Sites like ABC News, The Courier Mail, The Herald Sun, News.com.au, and local outlets routinely post this kind of content—and it can damage your name for years.
When Police Mentions Are Eligible for Removal or Suppression
Not every article can be deleted—but many can be suppressed, and some can be removed outright if they:
- Contain inaccurate or misleading information
- Refer to charges that were dropped
- Include unlawful publication of personal details
- Present out-of-date criminal history with no public interest
- Have a lack of updates, making them unbalanced
We assess every case individually and act fast.
How Reputation Station Suppresses Police Mentions
🔍 Digital Search Audit
We map your name’s search profile across all relevant terms (full name, initials, suburb, occupation, charges, etc.). Then we identify how and where the police mention ranks.
⚖️ Content Review & Legal Grounds
Our legal team examines the article for breaches of:
- Australian defamation law
- Right to be forgotten principles (where applicable)
- Ethical media conduct under the MEAA Code
✉️ Publisher & Platform Removal Requests
Where legally viable, we send takedown requests directly to:
- Newsroom editors and legal departments
- Google’s removal submission tools
- Social platforms and forum hosts
🚀 High-Authority SEO Suppression
When removal fails, we go hard with suppression. This includes:
- Creating branded content and geo-targeted profiles
- Publishing indexable stories on high-authority Aussie platforms
- Promoting positive press tied to your name
- Stacking local SEO relevance with location-rich keywords (e.g. “John Smith Brisbane”)
📈 Reputation Monitoring
We offer continuous tracking and campaign adaptation, so the bad press stays buried—even after Google’s next update.
We’ve Helped Australians Clear Their Names After:
- A first-time arrest or dropped charge
- An old offence that no longer reflects who they are
- A minor police report that got blown out of proportion
- Being named in error or unfairly lumped into a group article
- Clients wrongly exposed through media overreach
Even if your matter was public once—it doesn’t have to be permanent.
