Meanwhile, Mr Keelty also told The Bulletin that police were doing their best to engage with Australia's Muslim community and the Sudanese.
He appeared to take a swipe at Mr Andrews, who earlier this month accused Sudanese people of fighting each other in nightclubs, joining gangs and drinking alcohol in parks.
"If you want to marginalise every Sudanese person that's come to the country, then the easy way to do it is to label them all as criminals," Mr Keelty said.
"If you want to marginalise the Islamic community, label them all terrorists.
"I mean, what we've got to do is just be guarded in our language and don't marginalise or isolate people through the language we use."
Asked if Mr Andrews should have been more circumspect in his language, Mr Keelty replied: "That's a matter for Kevin Andrews."
