Police detention centres 2.6.5 Case-oriented analysis of suicides and attempted suicides As depicted in the NPM Report 2019 (p. 159 et seq.), the Federal Ministry of the Interior had not implemented the standard for the analysis of suicides and attempted suicides developed by the working group responsible for suicide prevention by the end of 2019. The Ministry explained the lack of nationwide instructions with data protection reservations regarding the use of anonymised health data for the analysis of suicides and attempted suicides. The Ministry eventually followed the legal considerations of the NPM and, in October 2020, provided a concept for the case-oriented analysis including a form for documenting the incidents to be analysed. The analysis process is for suicides and attempted suicides only. Furthermore, only case information to which access can be granted without reservation should be used in the analysis.

On the monitoring visit to Steyr police detention centre, it was observed that a fire detection system including smoke alarms had been installed throughout the building at the end of 2019. The management of Innsbruck police detention centre (in the temporary quarters on the areal of Innsbruck correctional institution) reported on the monitoring visit in October 2020 about a successful fire drill on the day before the visit by the commission. Results of the monitoring priority On the recommendation of the NPM, the Federal Ministry of the Interior responded that the plastic rubbish bins in all of the rooms in the open detention area of Salzburg police detention centre had been replaced with fireproof bins. The NPM welcomed this measure (see NPM Report 2019, p. 160). The evaluation of the specific surveys showed that in all of the cells in the visited police detention centres the alarm and call buttons worked and the 144
