Understanding the procedure at the Police Station / Your rights to an interpreter whilst at the Police Station- By Justyna Blazewicz
If you are detained at the police station and English is not your first language you have the right to request an interpreter. This needs to be provided free of charge.
This fundamental right to understand the proceedings and to have a fair trial, derives from the Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Whilst at the police station, as a detained person, you must be told about your rights and subsequently given written notice of those rights. You are also entitled to ask for the written notice of your rights in your own language.
