Annual Report 2019 The Commission’s findings were wide-ranging. This is attributable to the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee’s wide range of duties at the various locations (general police duties, border police duties, identity fraud, military policing and surveillance and security), the varying condition of the buildings (old or new, large or small barracks) and to the fact the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee not only conducts operations throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but also in mission areas. The findings ranged from technical defects, such as doors that did not open properly or broken furniture, to unclear operating instructions for cameras or uncertainty about who was responsible for the individual detained or held in custody. Generally speaking, the treatment and care of those held in the detention facilities of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee were found to be adequate. Moreover, sufficient attention was paid to the safety of both detainees and staff. However, the Commission believes that there is room for improvement. Its key overarching recommendation concerns including an in-house emergency response officer in the deployment schedule at all smaller locations as well. The military training programmes contain many, but not all aspects of the nationally certified company emergency response training programme. The Commission has generally found that the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is receptive and extremely willing to implement the recommendations. This was evident from a number of repeated inspections. An aspect requiring attention in 2020 continues to the signing of covenants with regional mental health care services aimed at fast-tracking assistance to people suffering from mental health issues. Forensic care In the NPM’s annual report for 2017-2018, the Justice and Security and the Health and Youth Care Inspectorates, which are part of the NPM, reported on incidents they had investigated at eight clinics. The follow-up monitoring conducted in 2019 found that the forensic psychiatric institutions de Kijvelanden, de Woenselse Poort and Fivoor 6 had implemented the improvement plans expeditiously. However, the lack of sufficient, trained and experienced staff was an area that required attention at both de Woenselse Poort and de Kijvelanden. In 2020, the Inspectorate for Justice and Security will conduct a review of the performance of duties in forensic care. Its review will include not only institutions that provide forensic care, but also the organisations they work with. Furthermore, the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate examined the results of an investigation into an extremely violent incident in the forensic care sector. Based in part on this investigation, the Minister of Justice and Security will establish a forensic care task force. The task force’s remit will be to ensure that the forensic care sector implements improvement measures. facilities does not form part of the activities in the context of the NPM, because the NPM was only established for the European part of the Kingdom. 6 The province of Utrecht’s forensic psychiatric unit in Den Dolder. 9 Table of conte
