How long does it take to inform your family if you are caught taking drugs?
According to the law, family members will be notified within 48 hours, and some will be mailed in three to five days. However, in judicial practice, sometimes the family members can't receive the detention notice because the defendant himself doesn't want to let the family members know the contact information of the family members of the public security organ or there is something wrong with the mail, and so on. In this case, family members can seek help from the police station where their household registration is located, so that the police station can help them understand what charges they were detained on or go directly to the public security organ in charge of handling the case.
