The Probishtip Police Station does not have a separate room for child detention, different from the detention premises for adults, despite the fact that it is explicitly provided
for in the Law on Justice for Children.
Sanitary node
Within the Police Station Probishtip there are separate toilets for the detained persons
and for the employed officials.
In the part where the detention rooms are located, there are special toilets that are
used exclusively by the detained persons. From the inspection of the toilets at the moment
of the visit, NPM concluded that they were functional.
2.9.2. 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 detained persons, as well as the persons - victims of criminal offenses,
in several languages, are displayed in several places.
In a conversation with the shift manager who was on duty, the NPM team got the
impression that he had experience in the work and was well acquainted with how to deal
with the summoned, detained and detained persons. Namely, according to the received
information, the persons deprived of liberty are always informed about their rights during
the very arrest in the Police Station. All detained persons are notified of the right to consult
a defence counsel, but very rarely the detained person seeks a defence counsel from the
register that is made available to them, because the person already has his own defence
counsel.
A person deprived of liberty is also guaranteed the right to food, and the standard
operating procedures of the Ministry of Interior determine a meal for the detained person
during the detention period (if it is detained for more than 6 hours).
There is no inspector at the Police Station who will work exclusively with children.
The problems for juvenile delinquency are covered by the inspector in charge of crime of
general jurisdiction, to whom this matter has been added.
From the inspection in the room of the shift manager, it was determined that the
rights of the citizens are displayed in it, which gives an opportunity for the summoned,
detained or detained persons to be informed and acquainted with their rights. Also, in the
room of the shift manager, there are several copies in plasticized form, on which the rights
of the persons deprived of liberty are emphasized.
