It is always advisable to be represented by experienced counsel when facing criminal charges. The police are on the same side as the prosecution and it is not there position to assist you. The only person who can and should advise you is an experienced criminal defense attorney. A lawyer will review your case and the facts surrounding it and will be able to apply the law to your situation.
