Other services
Attending by appointment/arrangement
If you are asked to attend at a police station either to be interviewed voluntarily, or under arrest it is often quicker and easier to make arrangements in advance and to attend with your legal advisor.
Interviews at home or work
Police will now routinely arrange interviews at a suspect’s home or work address.
Whenever and wherever an interview takes place you are entitled to the same legal protection of having your own solicitor or representative in attendance.
Appropriate adults
If you are attending the police station to assist a youth, child or detainee with relevant difficulties you are entitled to have access to the same ‘free legal assistance’ at the police station.
Witnesses attending the police station
It is not always obvious in advance whether the police want to speak to a person as a witness or as a potential suspect.
If in any doubt you are entitled to have access to the same ‘free legal assistance’ at the police station.
Interviews at council offices etc
Different legal aid provisions apply when interviews are being conducted without police present.
For advice on how best to deal with the police on any matter please call the office on 01252 344311 or the emergency 24 hour help line 07973 727420 when needed.
