View the detention notice. If family members receive a detention notice, the notice will clearly state the detainee's detention time, alleged crime, detention center and other information.
Ask the police directly. If the police come directly to arrest someone, you can ask which police station or public security bureau is responsible for arresting the person and the name of the officer in charge.
Contact the local police station. If the family cannot contact the detainee for several days, they can try to contact the police station near their home or report him missing directly. The police station can verify the situation through the police system.
Entrust a lawyer to inquire. If the family is ready to hire a lawyer, the lawyer can make an appointment with the lawyer through the WeChat applet and submit the power of attorney, client’s ID card, relationship certificate and other information for verification.
Go to the local detention center for consultation. Family members can also bring identity documents such as ID cards and household registers to the local detention center to inquire and verify relevant information.
The detention procedure mainly includes the following stages:
1. Preliminary trial. After a preliminary investigation, the public security organ will review the case to determine whether it meets the conditions for detention.
2. Detention decision. If the public security organ believes that the criminal suspect's behavior meets the conditions for detention, it will make a detention decision in accordance with the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China" and relevant national regulations, and notify the criminal suspect's family or close relatives.
3. Detention and execution. The public security organs will detain the criminal suspect in the designated detention center/detention center in accordance with the requirements of the detention decision.
4. Notify family members. After detention, the public security organ shall promptly notify the criminal suspect's family or close relatives of the reason, time and address of the detention.
5. Request for arrest. Call for arrest. Before the expiration of the criminal detention period, the public security organ requests the procuratorate to arrest the criminal suspect, and the procuratorate decides whether to approve the arrest. If the arrest is not approved, the criminal coercive measures will be changed to bail pending trial, etc., and if the arrest is approved, the suspect will continue to be detained until the judgment and execution are completed.
To sum up, the public security organs will immediately send the detainees to the detention center, and the public security organs will promptly notify their families. The public security organ will also issue a detention notice, which contains very clear information on the nature of the suspected violation or crime, the place of detention, and other information.
