It happened! You just got the phone call from the police station advising you a loved one was arrested. This situation often makes people panic and get nervous about the outcome. It’s not easy to receive this type of call which usually leads to a court date and more. If you have just received this call, stop for a moment and take a deep breath. You need to stay focused on the situation to help get it resolved as quickly as possible.
First, understand the reason your loved one was arrested. Then determine if it was due to something minor like shoplifting or something more serious. Once the information has soaked into your mind go to the police station for more information regarding the situation.
Always be kind and respectful while in the police department and speaking with officers. This kindness will help you find out information faster and welcome people to help you with ease. Avoid being aggressive and yelling at police officers and staff in the station. Aggressiveness will only deter people from speaking to you so they don’t have to deal with your aggressive behavior.
It’s difficult to be calm during this type of situation but while at the police station and communicating with the police, you need to force yourself to remain calm.
Your goal is to find out when and how you can get your loved one out of jail. Sometimes this involves bail money or simply waiting for the next day. Depending on the severity of the situation, your loved one might need to stay in jail until a court date is established or longer.
If the situation isn’t resolved simply or quickly at the police station you should find legal representation immediately. A defense attorney is recommended because they will help your loved one learn their rights in the situation and guide them to the best outcome for the situation.
