Do you cover other police stations as well?Yes! We regularly cover other police stations provided they are 45 minutes from Maidstone travel one way.

Please note however you should be aware of the LAA standards which require attendance within 45 mins. For instance, whilst we can cover your matter in North Essex it simply is not practical for us to travel for 1 and a half hours just to get there and the LAA will query it and ask why you did not instruct a local police station agent on your behalf, We have a sister site https:www.policestationrepuk.co.uk where you can instruct a police station agent yourself direct. Please note if you instruct a police station agent direct that is a contract between you and the police station agent. We are not responsible for direct instructions.

Can you contact the Police on my behalf. I need......? (Members of the public)We are nothing to do with the Police. Please call 101 if the matter is non urgent or 999 if an emergency. We are not a department of any UK police force. We suggest you contact the police direct on the numbers above. If you require information about someone in custody, we are afraid we cannot get it for you, If the person you are requesting information about is over eighteen and has already got a solicitor, you should ring the police station and ask the police for details of the solicitor who is representing him or her and contact the solicitor direct. You should be aware that unless and until the solicitors have the permission of the person who has been arrested to talk to you, they can tell you nothing. They are bound by legal rules not to tell you anything without the permission of their client. In limited circumstances if the police have arrested someone we can enquire if they require legal representation. They will be asked then, if they wish to have a solicitor. If they say no, we cannot act. In those circumstances we will be told nothing and can obtain no further information. The person when arrested will have been asked by the police, when arrested if they want someone informed of their arrest. If they decline to take up this option, it is their decision and must be respected.

I am a Probationary Representative and I need a Supervising Solicitor for my Police Station Portfolio?Sadly, We cannot help. It takes a considerable amount of unpaid time to supervise a probationary representative whilst training. You also have to sign off a portfolio as being undertaken by the probationary representative and supervise all training as well as complete a certificate of good character. We are self employed. We sadly do not have the resources to do this. The best suggestion we have is to write to all criminal solicitor firms in your local area stating what you need. The questions the firm will be asking themselves is, What's in it for us ? and you will need to answer that in your letter or email. Good Luck!
