About Katanning Police Station
Katanning Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Katanning and the surrounding area within Great Southern District. It covers Katanning, Nyabing, Pingrup, Woodanilling, and the surrounding communities. 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.
Katanning Police Station operates limited front-counter hours rather than around the clock. Outside those hours, urgent matters in the area are handled through Albany 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.
For non-urgent police assistance anywhere in the district, including Katanning, 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 Katanning Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.
Attendance can arise from a request, a bail requirement, a statement, or an arrest, and in each case advice before you decide anything safeguards your position.
Have Police Asked You To Attend Katanning Police Station?
It can seem that attending voluntarily means you are not a focus, but police regularly hold these interviews as part of an inquiry already running.
If police have been in touch by phone, with a notice to attend, or for a recorded interview, consult a criminal lawyer before engaging.
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 Katanning Police Station?
