Agent-cover FAQs
Quick answers for instructing firms.
Do you provide police station agent cover for solicitors?
Yes. I act as a police station agent for criminal defence firms across Kent, attending custody suites and voluntary interviews on short notice. Detailed attendance notes are provided after every job, and instructions can be accepted day or night.
Which Kent custody suites do you cover?
Coverage spans the principal Kent custody suites including Medway (Gillingham), Maidstone (North Kent), Margate, Folkestone and Tonbridge — plus voluntary interviews at any Kent station or by remote arrangement where appropriate.
How quickly can you attend?
For urgent custody attendance I aim to be at the relevant Kent suite as soon as practicable, typically within standard police-station-rep response timeframes. Voluntary interviews are scheduled to suit the client and instructing firm.

Common questions about our service
Clear answers about what this service does and does not do.
Do I need a solicitor at a police interview?
Yes. Any police interview under caution — whether in custody or voluntary — can be used as evidence against you. You have a right to free, independent legal advice under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. Always speak to a solicitor before answering questions.
Can a family member instruct a solicitor?
Yes. A family member, partner, or authorised representative can contact a solicitor on behalf of someone in custody or attending a voluntary interview. The custody officer must then inform the detainee that legal representation has been arranged.
Can you contact the police for me?
No. We are a firm of independent criminal defence solicitors, not the police. We cannot contact officers, custody suites, or investigators on your behalf. To contact the police, call 101 for non-emergency matters or 999 in an emergency.
Can you tell me what happened to someone in custody?
No. We do not hold information about other firms' clients, and even where we represent a person, all communications are protected by legal professional privilege. To enquire about a detainee, you must contact the police station holding them directly.
Do you provide agent cover for solicitors?
Yes. We provide reliable police station agent cover for criminal defence firms across Kent — covering custody attendances, voluntary interviews, and urgent short-notice instructions. Detailed attendance notes are provided after every job.
