Enhancing Legal Support as Accredited Police Station Representatives

Old Bailey Solicitors is proud to announce that two of our colleagues, Matthew Bishop and Kelsey Reid, have successfully become Accredited Police Station Representatives. This significant achievement marks a pivotal moment in their careers and enhances the firm’s ability to provide exceptional legal support. In this article, we’ll explore what this accreditation means and how it positions both Matthew and Kelsey to better serve our clients.

Understanding the Role of an Accredited Police Station Representative

An Accredited Police Station Representative plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system. They are authorised and trained to provide legal advice and representation to individuals detained or questioned at a police station or other interview settings. This role is vital as it ensures that the rights and interests of the detainee are protected from the outset of a criminal investigation.

Seeking early legal advice can make a huge difference in the outcome of any case. The advice of an Accredited Police Station Representative can be the difference between a case proceeding to court, or no further action being taken. It can also change the course of a trial, and ultimately the outcome of a case.
