In the event of dawn raids and other criminal law emergencies, such as an arrest or transfer to police custody, it is strongly recommended that legal counsel be contacted immediately. In connection with dawn raids, officers should be asked to wait until legal counsel arrives before implementing the measures. 

Notrufkontakte für die jeweiligen Gerichtsbezirke sind auf der Webseite der Strafverteidigervereinigung NRW e.V. zu finden.
