Blacktown Police Station

Blacktown Police Station Details

If You or Someone You Know Is Being Held or Questioned

Being asked to attend Blacktown Police Station, or being stopped and held there, does not automatically mean you have been arrested. Politely ask the officer directly whether you are under arrest or free to leave. If you are under arrest, police must caution you before questioning. In either situation, you are entitled to contact a lawyer, and it is strongly advisable to do so before answering any substantive questions, taking part in a formal interview, or signing any document or statement.

Your Rights During Police Questioning

In NSW, you generally have the right to remain silent and are not required to answer police questions about an alleged offence, beyond providing mandatory identification in specific circumstances (for example, while driving). You cannot be penalised simply for exercising your right to silence. You also have the right to contact a lawyer, a friend or a relative, and to have a lawyer present during questioning if you choose to be interviewed. This is general information only - the full picture depends on your specific situation.

Which Court Matters From Here Are Heard At

Blacktown Police Station falls within the Blacktown Police Area Command, and criminal matters arising from this station are typically heard at Blacktown Local Court, on Kildare Road, Blacktown. Court listing can occasionally differ depending on the nature of the charge, so it is worth confirming your specific court date and location on any paperwork you are given.
