Jaffa Station Details

• Address: Derech Shalom (Salameh) 18, Tel Aviv-Yafo
• Phone: 03-6802222

The details are taken from the Israel Police list of stations. The station is located at Derech Shalom (Salameh) 18, the same address as the Tel Aviv District headquarters, and belongs to the Yiftach sub-district.

Before the Questioning at the Jaffa Station

• Check the summons to see at which station and in what capacity you are being questioned. Questioning as a suspect differs from giving testimony, and questioning under caution means you are warned that what you say may be used against you. See questioning under caution.
• Consult a lawyer before giving your version. What is said in questioning is recorded and can be used as evidence.
• Do not hand over details or documents you were not asked to bring, and do not sign a statement you have not read.
• See also representation of suspects in police investigations.

After the Questioning

A detained suspect is usually brought before a judge within 24 hours, and at the hearing it is possible to request release or an alternative to detention. See release from detention and representation of detainees and remand hearings.

If an indictment is filed, the proceedings will usually be held in the Magistrates’ and District Courts in Tel Aviv. See a criminal indictment: what to do from the first moment. For the regional page: criminal defense lawyer in Tel Aviv.

If the Investigator Says That Refusing Is an Offense

Sometimes an investigator claims that refusing to provide a phone passcode or to answer a question is an obstruction offense. It is worth not being alarmed by the statement and not responding to it. You can politely say that you wish to consult a lawyer before you decide. The question of what is mandatory and what is optional is one to settle after receiving legal advice. See representation of suspects in police investigations.

When You Ask to Consult and the Questioning Continues

Someone who asked to consult a lawyer is not required to keep answering in the meantime. You can repeat that you will not answer questions until you have consulted. Do not agree to “just one question” and do not sign a waiver of the consultation. If you are told that the consultation will prolong your stay at the station, this is a familiar pressure tactic and not a reason to give up. See questioning under caution.

A Compound Shared with the District Headquarters

The Jaffa station is located at Derech Shalom (Salameh) 18, the same address as the Tel Aviv District headquarters. Check the summons to confirm which station and which unit you are summoned to, and arrive as instructed in the summons. If the case continues to court, station cases are usually heard in the Tel Aviv courts. See representation of detainees and remand hearings.
