Making a statement to the police should never be taken lightly. Once you make that statement, you are considered a witness and are now part of the case. If you decide to make a statement, do not do it alone. You should bring a friend, community support worker, or your lawyer with you to the station. If you are underage, you'll need to bring an adult with you. If English is not your first language, you should ask for a translator. You should try to make an appointment in advance if you can. Ask for a copy of your statement. You can request that you are willing to provide a statement but do not want to be further involved in the case.
