A Letter From Police.







Maadu (Kapeere’s relationship advisor) was arrested and taken to police, but he claimed that Kapeere had asked him to beat up Fred (Kapeere’s rival), so the police have called Kapeere to come to police and explain whether he indeed had sent Maadu to beat up Fred. Kapeere has ‘real’ denied everything to everyone who cares to listen. However, he still wants to know what the police means by writing him that letter.  


What is this letter? 

By law, the police, court or any other judicial body can order a person to appear before it at a stated time and date for a specific reason such as to answer questions or provide information to them.  

This is done through a written document known as Summons. 


Can you choose to ignore them? 

Yes, you can, but this means you forfeit the opportunity to voluntarily give your side of a story or to provide information that could benefit your case. The police will not lose interest and go away.  


Instead, the police may investigate and decide to arrest you since you they did not get your side of the story to support your case. 


What do you say when you go to police? 

When you visit police in response to the summons, you must explain your side of the story and ensure that this is put into writing. This written account of your story is called a Police statement. 


Can you decide to say nothing at all? 

Yes, you can. A statement is voluntary therefore It is your right to choose whether to make one or not. The police cannot force you to make a statement especially if you believe it will incriminate you.  


Are statements only for suspects? 

No, they are not. A statement is a written narrative of what happened at a particular time. A suspect, a complainant (the one who reported the case), and those who saw or heard what happened (witnesses) can all make statements to help the police in their investigations.  


Always make sure you read through the written statement and sign on every page if you are sure that this is an accurately represents what you told the police.
