ANNUAL REPORT 2019-OMBUDSMANNATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM
NPM stated that the temperature is 26.6оC and is within the acceptable range, while the
humidity was around 43.9%. Since there are no special heaters in the room, the question
arises as to how it heats up during the winter.
There is no call or video surveillance system installed in the detention room. Given
that the room is located close to the duty office, the officials informed us that the persons
are under constant surveillance, and the detained person can call an official at any time
in case of any need.
The police station does not have special rooms for keeping children, as
provided by the Law on Justice for Children.
Regarding the treatment of children, it was pointed out that so far in the Police Station there have been no cases of child detention, and in cases when there was a need
to have a conversation, it was carried out in the premises of the shift managers or the
inspector working on the specific case. In this regard, it was pointed out that whenever
conversations with a minor take place, his/her parent or guardian is also called, and when
there is a need, a representative from the Centre for Social Work, as well as a lawyer.
Sanitary node
Within the facility for detention of persons deprived of liberty, there is no special
sanitary node for the detained persons, more precisely, the same toilets as for the officials
are used.
Although the hygiene in the sanitary unit was satisfactory, it is still an old and unrepaired toilet with the presence of a large amount of moisture. During the visit, NPM did
not notice any means for maintaining personal hygiene, but according to the information
received from the commander of the Police Station, toilet paper is given to the detained
persons if they request it.
2.5.2. Realization of the rights of the detained
persons
In the Police Station, posters with the rights of the summoned persons, persons
deprived of liberty and detainees, as well as the persons, victims of criminal offenses in
several languages are displayed in several places in the Police Station.
Namely, a poster with instructions on the rights of detainees in three languages is
placed in a visible place on the inside of the detention room, and posters with instructions
on the rights of detainees, persons deprived of liberty and victims of crimes are displayed
in a visible place at the entrance to the Police Station, as well as in several places in the
hallway of the station.
