'Thank goodness my wife found Yasar when she googled 'informal police interview' after work allegations. I had several serious allegations made about me at work and was shocked and worried when told I had a police interview. I didn't know how serious it was or what to expect on the day. Yasar was very calm and professional and knew exactly how to handle the situation. Two days later I had a call from Yasar who stated NFA would be taken. It was one of the most stressful times of my life..'

Voluntary police interviews

I am a specialist criminal law solicitor with extensive experience representing people at voluntary police interviews, also referred to as Caution Plus 3 interviews. I have been representing people at the police station for over 20 years.

I have represented clients accused of a wide range of criminal offences including assault, harassment, threatening behaviour, controlling or coercive behaviour, criminal damage, sexual assault, theft, fraud, breach of non-molestation orders, and drug offences, including possession, supply, and importation.

I am totally independent of the police and focused solely on assisting you at your interview.

I am a member of the Law Society (view my profile) and am regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

I am a consultant duty solicitor at Middlesex Law Chambers (MLC) in Uxbridge, west London. I joined MLC in January 2026. Prior to that, I worked at several law firms and also ran my own practice for 7 years.

I qualified as a duty solicitor in 2005. I am an accredited member of the Law Society’s Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme.

I graduated with a degree in Law from the University of Hertfordshire in 1998. I qualified as a solicitor in 2003. In 2004, I obtained the Police Station Qualification from the University of Cardiff.

A voluntary police interview is one part of a criminal investigation. These investigations can be stressful, lengthy, and take a huge toll on a person’s mental health. My approach is to listen to clients, understand their concerns, and give them the information they need to make informed choices about what to do in their interview. I do not just explain the options; I also give clear guidance and help clients focus on the important points.

Understanding Voluntary Police Interviews

What is a Voluntary Police interview?

It is a formal interview conducted under caution. The interview is recorded and can be used as evidence in criminal proceedings. The police suspect you have, or may have, committed an offence and they want to ask you questions about your involvement.

When the police investigate an allegation, they must pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry, including those that point away from you as a suspect. In many investigations, an interview is considered a reasonable line of enquiry.

If you refuse to attend a voluntary interview, you may be arrested. An arrest enables the police to carry out the interview.

The police will conduct a voluntary interview in cases where there is no necessity to carry out an arrest. For example, this may be where the police do not need to search your premises or seize property from you.

Why should you have a solicitor at a Voluntary Police Interview?

I can provide you with legal advice on how to approach your interview. I can also obtain information about the allegation from the police officer before the interview takes place. In many cases the police withhold evidence until the interview in order to test whether you are telling the truth.

I can advise you whether to answer questions. While answering questions may seem like the best option, it is not always the case. I will consider the legal implications of answering questions versus remaining silent and advise you accordingly.

It is important to remember that an interview is not a casual conversation. What you say can be used as evidence weeks or months later in court if you are prosecuted. If you say something in your interview, then change your account later on in court, that can damage your defence.

Prepared Statements

Another option is to provide a written statement, known as a “prepared statement”.

I can draft this for you and read it out during the interview. I will inform the officer that you will not be answering questions if you choose to take this option. The officer will still ask questions, but you should remain silent or respond “no comment” to each question.

A prepared statement allows you to present your account in a controlled and concise manner, focusing on the key points. It can also be less stressful than answering questions.

What is the risk of attending a Voluntary Police Interview alone?

A major risk is that you may incriminate yourself or say something that is detrimental to your case.

My role is not to prevent you from speaking, but to advise you of the consequences so that you can make an informed decision. My advice is based on your best interests. Acting in your best interests may involve advising you not to answer questions, particularly where doing so could strengthen a potential prosecution case against you.

What happens at a Voluntary Police Interview?

I will first speak privately with the police officer to obtain “disclosure”, which is information about the allegation. This usually takes only a few minutes. The officer may have sent this to me in advance.

I will then speak with you in private to explain the information disclosed and advise you on the relevant law and evidence. Every offence has specific legal requirements, and I will explain how these apply to your situation.

I will advise on the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, although this may be a preliminary assessment if all the evidence is not yet known.

There is no time limit on how long we can talk for before the interview. A typical consultation with a client before the interview can last between 30 and 60 minutes.

Once we have finished discussing matters, the interview will begin.

Before the interview, the officer may complete a risk assessment form, asking you about any medical conditions, medications, or mental health issues. These questions are not part of the interview itself.

Your interview will be audio recorded and, in some cases, visually recorded.

There may be one or two officers present. Usually, one officer will ask the questions while the other takes notes.

Your Legal Rights at the Start of the Interview

At the start of your interview, the officer will explain your legal rights, including that:

  • the interview is voluntary,
  • you are not under arrest,
  • you are free to leave at any time (although you may be arrested if you leave before questioning is complete),
  • you are entitled to free, independent legal advice.

The Caution

The officer will then administer the caution:

“You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

The officer may ask questions to confirm you understand the caution.

The interview will then proceed with questions about the allegation.

Many interviews last around 30 minutes, although some are shorter or significantly longer depending on the seriousness of the case.

After the Interview

At the end of your interview, the recording is stopped and you may leave the station. You can speak with me afterwards for further advice.

The matter will be referred either to another officer or to the Crown Prosecution Service for a decision to be made about the outcome. If you are under 18, your matter may be referred to the Youth Offending Team.

You will be informed once a decision has been made.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be charged at a Voluntary Police Interview?

You will not be charged immediately. A decision will be made after the interview as to whether charges should be brought.

Do I have to attend a Voluntary Police Interview?

No, but you may be arrested if you refuse.

If arrested, the police can detain you for up to 24 hours (and sometimes longer in certain circumstances) and conduct the interview during that time.

Can I be arrested at Voluntary Police Interview?

If you agree to attend a police interview voluntarily, you can only be arrested if new information shows that voluntary attendance is no longer suitable and arrest is now necessary, and it wasn’t reasonably possible to arrest you before you came to the station.

In what situations can the police arrest?

  • if you decide to leave before the interview is over
  • if the police want to seize evidence that you have on you and you don’t hand it over voluntarily
  • if you say something that makes the police think you may flee or fail to attend court
  • if you say something that makes the police think they have to put conditions on you such as not to contact a particular person
  • if you reveal new information in the interview the police didn’t know about which makes them believe your arrest is necessary

There’s many reasons why a police officer may decide to arrest someone at a Voluntary Police Interview. Above are just some examples.

What happens after a Voluntary Police Interview?

A decision will be made to:

  • charge you with an offence,
  • issue an out-of-court disposal, or
  • take no further action.

Does a Caution Plus 3 interview mean there is not enough evidence?

No. In many cases, the police may already have sufficient evidence to charge.

A Voluntary Police Interview is used where the legal criteria for arrest are not met.

A lawful arrest requires:

  • Reasonable suspicion of involvement in a criminal offence, and
  • Reasonable grounds to believe that arrest is necessary.

Can I arrange a solicitor myself to represent me?

Yes. You do not have to use the solicitor the police arrange. If you have asked the police to arrange a solicitor, you can change your mind, and many people do. Many people who contact me initially asked the police to arrange a solicitor for them, but then decided to instruct me instead. 

Out-of-Court Disposals

Simple Caution

A simple caution is a formal warning for individuals aged 18 and over. It results in a criminal record and may be disclosed in certain circumstances.

You must admit the offence, and there must be sufficient evidence to prosecute. It must also be in the public interest not to prosecute.

A simple caution becomes “spent” immediately, although it may still need to be disclosed for certain roles (e.g., working with children or vulnerable adults).

It will not appear on a basic DBS check but will appear on standard and enhanced checks.

The police may also retain your fingerprints and DNA.

Conditional Caution

A conditional caution includes one or more conditions that you must comply with. Criminal proceedings are paused while you are given the opportunity to meet these conditions.

If you comply, prosecution will not usually follow.

You must admit the offence, and there must be sufficient evidence and public interest considerations.

A conditional caution results in a criminal record and may need to be disclosed. It will not appear on a basic DBS check but will appear on standard and enhanced checks, typically for six years. For some offences, it will always stay on your record.

Other Out-of-Court Disposals

For low-level offences, the police may issue a Penalty Notice for Disorder (a type of fixed penalty notice) for individuals aged 18 and over.

The police may also offer a Community Resolution, which is an informal warning available for both adults and children.

You must admit the offence or accept responsibility, and there must be sufficient evidence.

Community Resolution

Community Resolutions are generally used for less serious offences and are assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as:

  • the circumstances of the offence,
  • risk to the public,
  • impact on the victim,
  • your previous history.

A key advantage is that a Community Resolution does not appear on a basic or standard DBS check, although it may be disclosed on an enhanced check.

"Yasar was a huge support to me during a very stressful time. I found him through my own research and from the first contact he was prompt, calm, and clear. What stood out most was how patient and thorough he was. Even before we formally started working together, he took the time to speak with me more than once, listened closely, and made sure he fully understood my situation. That level of care and professionalism is rare. Once engaged, he was consistent and dependable. He showed up when it mattered, put in real time and effort, and handled everything with diligence and good judgement. Working with him gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. I am genuinely grateful for his help and I would highly recommend Yasar to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, professional, and truly committed to their client."

From the very beginning, you exhibited a deep understanding of the legal process, ensuring that I was well-informed and prepared for each step. Your professionalism and approachability instantly put me at ease, making it easier for me to navigate a challenging situation.

Your commitment to my case was evident in every interaction we had. You provided clear explanations, answered all my questions, and consistently kept me updated on any developments. Your meticulous attention to detail and strategic approach played a crucial role in the case being closed with no further action.

I am genuinely impressed by your level of expertise and your ability to handle the complexities of my situation. Your hard work and dedication have earned my utmost respect and trust. I have no hesitation in recommending you to my family and friends should they ever require legal assistance.

Once again, thank you for your exceptional service. You’ve not only achieved a favorable outcome for me but also made a lasting positive impact on my perception of legal proceedings.’

Theft – Bishopsgate Police Station in 2016

‘Yasar represented me in December 2016 after being falsely accused of theft. As soon as I had made contact and we’d had a brief chat over the phone about the case I felt more at ease (I’d not been in any trouble with the police before and even though I’d done nothing wrong this scenario was still a little daunting).

Yasar assisted me with arranging the police interview and on meeting took time to fully understand my case and was more than thorough, going through every detail and giving me every assurance about the case, discussing probable outcome scenarios and fully explaining the interview process.

At one point during the interview the line of questioning -well, it didn’t take a turn for the worse but I felt I was being led in a direction that wasn’t quite right and Yasar identified this also and jumped in, stopping the interview so we could regroup.

After the interview I felt elated and this is mostly down to Yasar’s professionalism (well, and the fact that I’d not done anything wrong but it wasn’t a nice situation to be in). He ensured I was comfortable, well informed, that I had nothing to worry about and everything went really well. I honestly hope there’s no further need for a criminal solicitor in my life but if I do Yasar’s the man and have his number in my phone..’

Theft – Heathrow Police Station in 2023

‘Yasar has been a fantastic help to me in something that I stupidly done. He was responsive immediately and met me at a Police Station. He went into the Station, reviewed the evidence and gave me the exact breakdown of what could happen best and worst case. We decided between us the best way forward and came to a resolution with the Police which resulted in a Community Resolution. Lessons have been learnt and I would highly recommend this guy. He knows his stuff inside out’.

Theft – Lewisham Police Station in 2022

‘Yasar was very professional, helpful and supportive on my case. He gave me the best possible advice by communicating thoroughly. He really put me at ease in a situation that i never faced before.

Yasar was clear about his services and explained the procedures. He was quick and concise to respond to correspondence. On the day of the interview, he asked the officer the right questions and explained my position to me, the laws that applied and how my actions would be interpreted. His presence was reassuring and his knowledge accurate and objective. I gave my interview and the full sequence of events and was not charged. I would highly recommend Yasar’s services which were provided through legal aid’.

‘Fantastic solicitor, he knows what he is doing / talking about. He knew from the very beginning that the accusations made towards myself were completely unjustifiable from a legal perspective and helped me sort things out during my caution 3+ interview. I can’t recommend him enough, the interview went smoothly and he helped me throughout the whole process. If you ever are in a situation where you are accused of something (either at the police station or being invited for a caution 3+ interview) don’t hesitate to call him. He will suggest you the best course of action and his knowledge is indeed amazing :)’
