Arrested or invited to interview in Cirencester?

Ask for Ghafar Khan by name. A person under arrest is entitled to request free and independent legal advice at the police station. A voluntary interview is also recorded under caution and may be relied upon later, so it should not be approached without advice merely because the person is free to leave.

If a relative has been arrested, call or WhatsApp 07500 556587 with their name, date of birth if known, the police station and custody number. The detainee should also tell custody staff that they want Ghafar Khan contacted. For current station information use the official Gloucestershire Constabulary website.
