About Albany Police Station

Albany Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Albany and the surrounding area within Great Southern District. It covers Albany and the surrounding coastal and rural communities of the lower Great Southern. 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.

Albany Police Station is a 24-hour station, open to the public at any time of day or night. That means a person can be brought here after an arrest at any hour, and interviews can be conducted late at night or over a weekend, which is exactly when having a lawyer on call matters most.

For non-urgent police assistance anywhere in the district, including Albany, call the WA Police Force on 131 444, or 000 in an emergency. Direct station numbers can change, so it is worth confirming the current number for Albany Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.

People attend for a range of reasons, from a voluntary interview to answering bail or giving a statement, and some are brought in after an arrest. In each case, knowing your rights before you make any decision is central to protecting your matter.

Have Police Asked You To Attend Albany Police Station?

There is a widespread assumption that a voluntary attendance means you are not under suspicion. In reality, police often hold these interviews as part of an ongoing investigation.

If police have called you, issued a notice to attend, or asked you to participate in a recorded interview, you should obtain legal advice before speaking 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.

Arrested And Taken Into Custody At Albany Police Station?

Because Albany Police Station operates around the clock, people are often held here after a late-night or weekend arrest. If that has happened to you, remember that your legal rights still apply.

Before agreeing to an interview, making admissions, or going along with certain police requests, you should first speak with a lawyer.

Hugo Law Group can provide urgent legal advice regarding:

  • Police interviews
  • Bail applications
  • Criminal investigations
  • Search warrants
  • Forensic procedures
  • Traffic offences; and
  • Serious criminal charges.

Legal advice at an early stage can stop mistakes that might later be relied on as evidence in court.
