The documentation/case files compiled in connection with the deprivation of liberty or remanding in custody may not include medical documentation relating to the person concerned in connection with medical examinations performed while the person was in custody. By way of exception, information on the health status of a person remanded in custody shall be available to police officers only where this is relevant for the case. In other words, police officers should be given access to medical information of persons deprived of liberty only to the extent necessary for them to perform their duties. Police officers should obtain a written report from the physician with information relevant for the further course of action to be taken by the police, including: the physician’s opinion whether the person can be remanded by the police taking into account the person’s health, notice of any injuries or health issues, details of any special care that should be provided while the person is remanded (e.g. therapy, any specific diet etc.), how such care should be provided etc. The Police Administration of Sombor and the police stations it comprises shall ensure that all persons remanded under the Code of Criminal Procedure are given a remand order within 2 hours of deprivation of liberty (arrest). The time of appearance of a suspect or a person invited to give a statement as a citizen who was warned he/she would be brought in by force if he/she did not appear shall count as the time of commencement of remand. The Police Administration of Sombor shall give persons remanded in custody the remand order and all other relevant documentation (notice of the person’s rights, receipt for confiscated items etc.) and persons remanded in custody shall be allowed to keep this documentation on their person while they are remanded in custody. The Police Administration of Sombor shall allow every person remanded in custody to read the remand report, which fact shall be confirmed by the signature of the person remanded in custody; where the person remanded in custody refuses to sign the report, a note to that effect shall be included in the report. The Ministry of Interior shall amend the Instructions on Treatment of Persons brought in by Police and Persons in Custody by stipulating that binding is to be applied only when strictly necessary, rather than whenever a person in custody is transported, as is currently the case. At the Police Administration of Sombor and in and the police stations it comprises, police officers shall not use handcuffs on every person brought in by police vehicles; instead, this shall be done only when justified reasons pertain, in the cases provided for by the law. 146 Report of the Visit to the Police Administration of Sombor, 71-5/14.
