The police station does not have special rooms for keeping children, as provided by the Law on Justice for Children. In this regard, the shift manager with whom the conversation was conducted, pointed out that juveniles are not detained in detention rooms, but in exceptional situations when there is a need for detention, juveniles are accommodated in one of the meeting rooms, which is located next to the shift manager’s room. Sanitary node Within the Police Station Centar there are separate toilets for the detained persons and for the employed officials. In the part where the detention rooms are located, there is a special toilet that is used exclusively by the detained persons. At the time of the inspection in the sanitary unit, the NPM team did not notice any means of maintaining hygiene. There is no special ventilation device in the toilet, which makes it smell bad. In this regard, NPM points to the following possible risks to the safety of the person and other fragile materials (ceramic materials), shower hose and metal holder for toilet paper. 2.3.2. Realization of the rights of the detained persons At the very entrance of the Police Station, a poster was displayed in a visible place, highlighting the rights of the summoned, detained and detained persons in seven languages, and in a visible place in the hallway of the Police Station the Code of Police Ethics is placed, as well as information about asylum seekers. In order to fully and continuously inform the citizens about their rights if they are detained or detained in the police station, NPM believes that, additionally, the rights should be announced in the conversation room for persons deprived of liberty, as well as in the room for detention of people. The NPM team was informed by the commander and the shift manager that the detainees and persons deprived of their freedom at the Police Station were also informed about the right to call a defence counsel, to inform a third party about their detention, that is, deprivation of liberty, as well as the right to seek medical care. The summoned, detainees and persons deprived of their freedom, in the conditions when they want to use the right to call a defence counsel, have at their disposal the list of lawyers registered in the Lawyer’s Register issued by the Bar Association of the Republic of Macedonia which is kept at the Police Station. www. ombudsman.mk 33
