Whyalla police station will also be affected by the change and will reduce their hours on weekends.
SAPOL state operations service Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott told ABC News that the changes would allow regional police officers to return to frontline services.
Kadina police station has not been affected as the station already has fewer service hours, with no office support on weekends for community members.
