If you are having problems with the police, the following are questions we need answered so we can keep on top of things and help each other.
- Address of property involved?
- How long have the occupiers been there? Any kind of licence or authorisation?
- Who has acted against them? Someone claiming to be an owner? Someone else?
- Police involvement? Names and badge numbers of any officers? Which police station?
- Who does own it? Or have rights to possession?
- Is it wholly residential?
- When did the incident happen? Date and time?
- Any other people involved?
- Was anyone arrested? Do we know who/ what for?
- Exact time/ arresting officer?
- Contact details for any witnesses to the arrest?
- Has anyone been charged? If so, with what?
- Have they been granted bail or kept in?
- Have any solicitors been contacted/ taken on the case? Contact details for them?
- How do we (eg ASS/SLN) contact the occupiers themselves?

- Any other issues/ support needed? (eg reclaiming possessions, filing complaints etc)
