- Don’t get into an argument with the police.
- Never bad-mouth a police officer.
- Remember, anything you say or do can be used against you.
- Keep your hands where the police can see them.
- Don’t run.
- Don’t touch any police officer.
- Don’t resist even if you believe you are innocent.
- If you complain at the scene, or tell the police they’re wrong, do so in a non-confrontational way that will not intensify the scene.
- Do not make any statements regarding the incident.
- If you are arrested, ask for a lawyer immediately.
- Remember officers’ badge numbers, patrol car numbers and physical descriptions.
- Write down everything you remember ASAP.
- Try to find witnesses and their names and phone numbers.

injuries as soon as possible,
but make sure you get medical
attention first. Ask for copies of your medical treatment
files.
