Public Order Offences

Public order offences range from low-level offences such as threatening behaviour to serious offences such as affray.

The offences usually relate to the use of, or threat of violence or harassment towards someone else, in a public place.

Remember, if you are arrested for a public order offence, and the police want to interview you under caution, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We can advise and represent you free of charge at the police station. It’s your legal right to have access to legal representation at the police station.

Public order offences are many and varied.

The law relating to them can be intricate and complex; that’s why you should always seek independent legal advice before answering any questions by the police.
