2.7.10 Positive observations
The commissions document their observations in a visit report on every
monitoring visit. Commissions also observe positive aspects and improvements
and communicate these in the concluding meeting. In several cases, it was
important to the NPM to inform the Federal Ministry of the Interior as the
most senior body about positive impressions in writing. The Ministry and the
police stations welcome this form of constructive cooperation.
Cooperation and good
equipment
Very frequently, the commissions praised the exemplary willingness to
cooperate, the harmonious working atmosphere, the faultless documentation
of official acts and detentions, the gender balance among the law enforcement
officers, clean and well-equipped cells as well as barrier-free and contemporarily
designed police stations.
Sonnenallee police
station
On their monitoring visit to Sonnenallee police station, the commission was
impressed by the particular commitment of a district police officer within the
framework of his preventive work.
Enkplatz police station
In addition to the use of the supervision programme at Enkplatz police station,
the commission praised the good leadership by the commander, to whom the
respectful treatment of detainees is important. All accusations of abuse are
not only forwarded but also discussed internally with the law enforcement
officers. The NPM holds the view that this method of working through abuse
allegations should be used in other police stations.
Bruck an der Mur police
station
A positive observation made by the commission on the visit to Bruck an der
Mur police station was the that station head notified peer support on difficult
operations. The commission also praised the use of body-worn cameras, the
dementia training programme completed by all officers and the entrusting
of a policewoman with preventive measures (lectures in schools, advising
burglary victims).
Satteins police station
The commission found it very positive that Satteins police station can quickly
reach doctors when needed thanks to the existing medical pool system in the
area of the Police Department of Vorarlberg.
