Is it definitely detention to go to the case center?

According to Baidu law, the case handling center is a place where public security organs handle administrative cases, which is different from administrative detention centers or detention centers. Going to the case center does not necessarily mean being detained. It may be just a summons for investigation, or it may be an administrative punishment or compulsory isolation for detoxification. Summon refers to the compulsory measures taken by public security organs against persons suspected of committing crimes, with the purpose of investigating and collecting evidence and determining their identity and criminal facts. Generally speaking, summoning is only arrested and investigated by public security organs, not detained by public security organs. The arrested person is usually in the waiting room of the case-handling unit, and the waiting room is not a detention center.

Detention is divided into administrative detention and criminal detention. Administrative detention refers to the most severe punishment given to general illegal acts in violation of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment, which belongs to one kind of administrative punishment. The longest period of administrative detention is 15 days, and it will be released at the expiration, which will be decided by the public security organ and executed in the administrative detention center. Criminal detention refers to temporary compulsory measures taken by public security organs or people's procuratorates against active criminals or major suspects in the investigation of criminal cases. The maximum period of criminal detention is 37 days, which is executed in the detention center.
