The forms of police summons are generally divided into oral summons and written summons.
Oral summons is aimed at the suspects found at the scene, and the people's police can summon them orally after showing their work certificates. If summoned orally, the process of the suspect's arrival, the time of arrival and the time of departure should be indicated in the inquiry record.
Written summons, generally referred to as summons card summons, is aimed at suspects found off-site, and the documents used are called summons cards. After the verification of summons is completed, the suspect shall sign and fingerprint the summons certificate, and fill in the time of summons and the end time of summons. If the criminal suspect refuses to fill it out, the people's police shall indicate it on the summons card.
