Detained Outside Kent?
While our primary agents are based in Kent, we can still assist you in the surrounding areas (e.g. London, Sussex). Here is what you need to do if the arrest has taken place outside of our immediate area.
For Members of the Public
If your friend or relative is detained outside Kent
We Can Help If You Are Nearby.
If the arrest is outside of Kent (e.g. London, Sussex, Surrey), we can still instruct Defence Legal Services to represent the detainee, provided the police station is within approximately 60 minutes of Maidstone.
- We instruct a trusted local agent: We have a network of accredited representatives in the South East we trust to attend on our behalf.
- We supervise the case: Our solicitors oversee the advice given and handle the case as if we were there personally.
- Private Representation: For private clients, our Senior Solicitors can travel nationwide to attend personally (subject to fees).

Looking for agency coverage outside Kent?
Our Agency Service is Kent-Focused
Police Station Agent specialises in covering Kent custody suites. We generally do not accept agency instructions for stations outside Kent (such as London) as we cannot guarantee our usual 45-minute response time.
If you require an agent for a police station outside of Kent, we recommend finding a local accredited representative to ensure the best service for your client.
Where to find agents for out-of-area work
If you are a firm looking to cover a police station attendance outside of Kent (e.g. London, Sussex, Surrey, or further afield), we recommend you do not instruct us, as our response times and local knowledge are optimised specifically for Kent custody suites.
Instead, we strongly advise you to visit PoliceStationRepUKDirectory.com.
This is the UK's leading national directory for accredited police station representatives. You will be able to find experienced local agents who:
- Are based near the relevant police station
- Can attend within legal aid timeframes
- Possess local knowledge of that specific custody suite
Where We DO Cover
We provide full 24/7 agency coverage for all the following Kent stations:
