Police station attendance note software UK
Purpose-built Windows software for criminal defence solicitors and police station representatives who need consistent, structured attendance notes — not a generic notes app.
At 2 a.m. in a busy custody suite, the last thing you need is a fragile Word template or fragmented paper notes. Custody Note is Windows 10+ desktop software designed around PACE custody, voluntary interviews, and telephone advice workflows used by defence teams across England and Wales.
Why specialist software matters
General practice management systems rarely capture the granularity of a police station visit: reviews, disclosure, outcomes, time recording, and LAA-oriented fields. Custody Note gives you a section-by-section structure that mirrors how reps and solicitors actually work — so you can produce a coherent PDF attendance note and supporting billing information without retyping the same facts six times.
Offline-first for real custody conditions
Wi‑Fi is unreliable in many stations. Custody Note stores your database locally on your laptop with strong encryption. You can continue working when the network drops; optional sync and backup features operate when connectivity returns.
PDF export and professional handover
Export attendance notes to PDF for instructing firms, peer review, or your own file. You remain responsible for the accuracy and suitability of what you file — the software is a tool to assist professional work, not a substitute for judgment or supervision.
Who it is for
- Duty solicitors and criminal defence solicitors who attend police stations regularly.
- Accredited police station representatives working under firm supervision.
- Small and mid-size firms standardising how attendance notes are captured across the team.
