We are super excited to announce our Police Station Representatives Training Conference, specifically presented for all who attend clients for interview at the police station.
This course kicks off the London CPD Festival Week at the Mary Ward Conference Centre, where Law Friends will present a series of unique and energetic conferences across a whole week of events, including this dynamic and interactive half-day course designed especially for Police Station representatives.
This conference brings the UK’s most respected police station specialists together for a direct, hard-hitting morning of updates, accountability strategies, and client -centred defence. From custody suite best practices to institutional racism and youth representation, this is the legal frontline and you’ll be trained by the professionals actively shaping it. Leading the day with an interactive session is Steve Kennedy, Solicitor and Founder of Law Friends Society, with Casey Jenkins , President of the LCCSA, known for her relentless commitment to Met Police accountability taking the stage alongside him .
Built for Police Station Reps , Duty Solicitors, Freelancers and all Police Station Lawyers
Each session is designed to be practical and applicable from the moment you enter the custody suite. You’ll explore and share real-time solutions for custody suite challenges, how to hold police forces institutionally accountable, representation of children in detention, strategies for challenging racism in police settings, and how to handle protest-related interviews. With speakers like Caroline Liggins (Youth Justice), Ghislaine Sandoval (Institutional Racism), and Laura O’Brien (Protest Law), you’re learning directly from those setting the standards in this space. These aren’t academic lectures - they’re strategic briefings for solicitors doing the real work on the ground.
Fast-Paced. Relevant. Powerfully Practical.
This half-day intensive provides deep value in minimal time, perfect for busy defence solicitors and reps under pressure to stay compliant and current. The event combines technical insight with a sharp political awareness of what modern defence work demands. Backed by over 15 years of frontline training delivery, Law Friends Society continues to equip its members not just with CPD points but with purpose, clarity, and confidence in practice.
