Whatever has brought you into contact with the station, understanding your rights and speaking to a lawyer first puts you in a far stronger position.
Have Police Asked You To Attend Belconnen Police Station?
It is a common misconception that being asked to attend a station voluntarily means you are not under investigation. In practice, police often use these interviews to gather evidence in a matter that is already underway.
If police have phoned you, handed you a notice to attend, or asked you to take part in a recorded interview, the safest step is to get legal advice before you speak with them.
Our criminal defence lawyers can explain:
- Whether you are required to attend;
- Whether you should participate in an interview;
- Your right to silence;
- Potential criminal charges; and
- The best strategy to protect your interests.
