Frequently asked questions about Colindale Police Station

What happens in an interview at a police station?

The Colindale Police Station interview process involves several stages.

Firstly, the police at Colindale Police Station will provide information about the offence or offences you are suspected of committing to your legal representative without you present. Police can (and usually will) withhold information such as witness statements and other statements or evidence at this stage.

You and your legal representative can then speak alone in a private consultation room at the police station. This allows your lawyer to explain the allegations you are facing and gives you a chance to respond to those allegations. 

You will have a full private consultation with us before the interview. If you have paid us privately, we can also have this meeting with you in advance via Zoom or in person on an earlier date.

We will then advise you on how to answer during police questioning. The advice we give at the police station is confidential and should not be discussed with the police or any third party. Upon analysis of the disclosure given, our experienced representative will advise you on whether you should:

• Answer ‘No comment’ to questions.
• Answer police questions.
• Serve a prepared statement outlining your defence.

Your representative will advise the best option for you in the circumstances based on the case.

Why would you need a solicitor at Colindale Police Station?

This call from the police can be the start of a nightmare, so it’s important to think carefully before attending with an inexperienced lawyer or one who is too busy to offer you an advance meeting before attending Colindale Police Station.

When you are invited for a voluntary interview at Colindale Police Station, we will call the police and obtain as much disclosure as possible of the allegations. Our sole job will be to advise you on whether to answer police questions. For more on this, see our senior partner's specialist article on whether to provide no comment in the interview.

We can arrange an advance meeting for you at our offices or in a virtual meeting before you enter the police station.
