What is Custody Note?
Custody Note is a digital note-taking and workflow tool for criminal defence professionals. It helps structure police station attendance notes, disclosure summaries, client instructions, advice, interview notes and follow-up actions.
Who is Custody Note for?
Custody Note is designed for criminal defence solicitors, accredited police station representatives, litigators and legal teams involved in police station and pre-charge work in England and Wales.
What Custody Note does not do
Custody Note does not provide legal advice, replace professional judgment, create a solicitor-client relationship, or guarantee compliance with professional obligations. It does not record or transcribe interviews — it is a structured note-taking and workflow support tool.
Test Custody Note in real workflows
The free beta gives you time to assess whether the structure fits the way you work at the police station.
