Short-term deprivation of liberty informed the Ministry of the Interior that the said objects in the cabinets in the meeting room could be considered as intimidatory or threatening to detainees being processed there. The DGP reports that measures have been taken to correct this shortcoming. 52.  It is still frequent to find officers at the establishments visited (mainly those of the CNP and the GC) without proper identification, in contravention of SES Instruction 13/2007 concerning the use of personal identification numbers on the uniforms of members of the state police and security forces, and the criteria indicated in paragraphs 66 and 113 and elsewhere in the Annual Report 2010. Both forces have been urged to monitor compliance with these regulations and with the recommendations of the Ombudsman and, in the case of the CNP, to bring disciplinary proceedings as relevant. Given that the DGP has not yet taken the measures needed to change the typeface on ID badges to make them more readable and to enable badges to be attached to uniforms as indicated in paragraph 66 of the Annual Report 2010, this shortcoming should be corrected immediately. The CNP and GC have been 53. Widely differing criteria continue to be applied concerning whether or not firearms are carried in holding cell areas, especially in the establishments of CNP and the GC but also in some local police stations visited, such as Berja (Almería), La Carolina (Jaén) and Valverde del Camino (Huelva). In paragraph 65 and elsewhere in the Annual Report 2010 it was recommended that instructions be given to unify criteria, since it was considered that for the sake of the safety of detainees and officers alike no one should enter holding areas while carrying a gun, but no such instructions have been issued. Thus, during the inspection visits made in 2001 this same shortcoming was again observed. With the exception of the Las Rozas barracks (Madrid), where specific instructions have been issued to enforce the criteria expressed by the ombudsman, the GC has stated that “in many barracks the holding cells are within or attached to other police facilities and the only architectural possibility of separating them is via a corridor or the cell door itself. This makes it operationally impossible for officers on duty to take off their regulation firearms”. The Ombudsman considers this assertion to be unacceptable, since there is nothing to prevent gun cabinets from being located at the entrances to holding areas, where guns can be deposited while their wearers are in contact with detainees. Indeed, this is common practice at the establishments of the Mossos d’Esquadra, as explained in paragraph 168 of the Annual Report 2010. It was observed, especially THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN  urged to see that officers are properly identified and to take measures to ensure that ID badges are properly readable in the establishments of the CNP and GC, that the recommendations of the Ombudsman advising that officers in holding areas should not carry guns have not been enforced  65
