About Kensington Police Station
Kensington Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Kensington and the surrounding area within Cannington District. It covers Carlisle, Como, East Victoria Park, Karawara, Kensington, Lathlain, Manning, Salter Point, South Perth, Victoria Park, and Waterford. Officers based there investigate a broad range of matters, from traffic and drink driving to assault, family violence and restraining order matters, drug offences, stealing, fraud, and other criminal matters.
Kensington Police Station operates limited front-counter hours rather than around the clock. Outside those hours, urgent matters in the area are handled through Cannington Police Station or by calling 131 444. If you are asked to attend for an interview, it will usually be arranged during opening hours, which gives you time to speak with a lawyer before you go.
The reason for attending might be an interview, bail, a statement, or an arrest. Whatever it is, knowing where you stand before deciding anything matters a great deal.
Have Police Asked You To Attend Kensington 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.
Where police have contacted you by phone, given you a notice to attend, or asked you in for a recorded interview, advice from a criminal lawyer should come first.
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.
