premises, as well as in interrogation and conversation rooms, in accordance
with Standard Operating Procedures, because functional video surveillance in
the detention and interrogation rooms shall reduce the risk of possible misconduct.
Regarding the treatment of children, it was pointed out that so far no child has been
detained at the Police Station, and in cases when there was a need to have a conversation,
it was conducted in the premises of the facility that is specifically intended for children,
and in this respect the good cooperation and communication with the Centre for Social
Work was emphasised.
Sanitary node
Within the Gostivar Police Station there are separate toilets for the detained persons
and for the employed officials.
Within the facility for detention of persons deprived of liberty there are special sanitary facilities for detained persons in which the hygiene was at a relatively satisfactory
level. The toilet has glass mirrors which means that the risk of injury if the mirrors are
broken is likely. In that part, in order to avoid the possibility of self-harm and /or infliction
of injuries to other people, it is necessary to place mirrors with unbreakable glass.

persons
At the Police Station, posters with the rights of those summoned, persons deprived of
their freedom and detainees, as well as the victims of criminal acts, were displayed in several places. At the entrance of the police station there is a box for praise and complaints,
and there is also a box for complaints to the Department of Interior.
Namely, a poster with instructions on the rights of the summoned, detained and
detained persons in three languages is placed in a visible place in the office of the shift
manager of the Police Station, and the instructions on the rights of detainees and detained
person in seven languages are displayed in the interrogation room located in the building
where the detention premises are situated.
The rights of the victims of criminal acts and the Code of Police Ethics are displayed
in a visible place in the Police Station, and a poster with guidelines for dealing with child

children.
