What should family members do after receiving the detention notice?

After receiving the detention notice, you can entrust a lawyer to meet with your relatives as soon as possible. After understanding the case, you can communicate effectively with the police officer and strive for bail pending trial or release. The important role of lawyers in the criminal detention stage is to analyze whether the case constitutes a crime or whether it is possible to obtain bail. If it may not constitute a crime after research, promptly explain the legal opinions to the public security organs, submit written materials, and urge them to withdraw the prosecution.

After being detained, the detainee shall be immediately sent to a detention center for detention and shall not exceed 24 hours. Unless notification is impossible or notification of suspected crimes endangering national security or terrorist activities may hinder the investigation, the detainee's family members must be notified within 24 hours after detention.

1. After relatives receive the detention notice, they can handle it in the following ways:

(1) The family members confirm whether the criminal suspect is under criminal detention or administrative detention. Administrative detention generally does not exceed fifteen days, so there is no need to worry too much. For criminal detention, after the family confirms that it is criminal detention according to the notice, they can know the crime charged, the place of detention, the unit of the person in charge of handling the case, and the name of the person handling the case.

(2) Send clothes, money, etc. Take them to where they were detained. Choose appropriate clothes according to different seasons, no buttons or zippers. A certain amount of money can be deposited in the suspect's account for daily needs.

(3) Contact a lawyer immediately, entrust a lawyer to intervene, meet with the criminal suspect, understand the case, and provide defense.

The maximum period of public security detention is 30 days. If it is determined through investigation that no crime is involved, or if the lawyer's opinion meets the conditions for release on bail pending trial, he will be released within 30 days. If the public security organ deems an arrest necessary, it shall submit it to the Procuratorate for approval within 30 days, and the court shall decide whether to arrest the person within 7 days.
