About Derby Police Station

Derby Police Station is part of WA Police Force and serves Derby and the surrounding area within Kimberley District. It covers Derby, and the surrounding West Kimberley 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.

Derby Police Station operates limited front-counter hours rather than around the clock. Outside those hours, urgent matters in the area are handled through Broome 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 Derby, 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 Derby Police Station on 131 444 before relying on it.

Some people attend after a request to be interviewed, others to answer bail or give a statement, and some are brought in following an arrest. In every case, understanding your rights before acting is the best safeguard for your matter.

Have Police Asked You To Attend Derby Police Station?

The belief that a voluntary attendance means you are not a suspect is common, but police often gather evidence through these very interviews.

Should police have phoned you, served a notice to attend, or asked you to participate in a recorded interview, speak with a lawyer before you engage.

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 Derby Police Station?

Being detained after an arrest in the Derby area does not remove your important legal rights. People arrested in the area are often taken to Broome Police Station or another staffed facility, so it is worth confirming exactly where you or a family member is being held.

Speak with a lawyer before you participate in an interview, make admissions, or agree to any requests put to you by police.

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.

Early advice can prevent errors that would otherwise be used against you in court.
