Dear friends and colleagues,
London Police Station Representatives Annual Conference
Law Friends is delighted to announce its second Police Station Representatives Annual 6 CPD Training Conference, taking place on Monday 26 October 2026 at the Mary Ward Conference Centre, London WC1.
Following the success of last year’s event, the conference will open Law Friends CPD Week with a full day of practical, engaging training delivered by experienced criminal lawyers from the Law Friends police station team.
Created by Police Station Lawyers, for Police Station Lawyers
Our hand-picked speakers remain in everyday police station practice and have collectively conducted thousands of interviews throughout their careers. Their sessions will focus on the real problems, decisions and practical challenges representatives face in custody suites every day.
We will open with an interactive examination of twenty common custody-suite problems and practical ways to address them. Delegates will be invited to submit issues in advance, helping to shape a guided group discussion grounded in current day-to-day practice.
