1.5 The visits to police stations • In regard to Ravne na Koroškem PS, the NPM found that in one case one section stated that “the person does not have any visible injuries” and another section that the person “sustained injuries to the left knee - an abrasion” which raises a doubt on the accuracy of the personal examination of the detained person. For this reason the NPM proposed to the Ravne na Koroškem PS that the police officers be reminded that in cases when a detained person has a visible injury, this be actually recorded. In relation to this, the Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that upon the accommodation, the person in question did not mention any pain in their knee and therefore the officer crossed out the section “Medical attention and treatment” on the first page of the form. These findings were later correctly registered by the officer on the second page of the form, after the person in question said they have a pain in their knee. The injury was notified to the health care centre Ravne na Koroškem. A new record under section “Medical attention and treatment” was not necessary and this was an administrative error. According to the opinion of the Ministry of the Interior, it cannot be established that such record creates doubts on the accuracy of the personal inspection of the detained person. • In Radlje ob Dravi PS, Dravograd PS and Ljubljana Police Detention Centre, the NPM established some deficiencies regarding the completion of all sections of the from “The performance of tasks during detention/apprehension - official note” and thereby proposed that the officers be informed of this. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the police officers were reminded of the regular completion of sections. • In relation to a case (Laško PS), with regard to which it was established that the legal bases in the official note and in the FIO register are different and that the decisions on detention are not entirely accurate (with reference to the FIO register and the official note) and with regard to which it was established that the data on the second page of the official note on detention under section “detention ordered by” was corrected with a correction fluid, the NPM proposed the case to be re-examined and that the data on the end of detention and on the legal basis for the detention order be appropriately corrected or harmonised. At the same time the NPM proposed to remind (again) the police officers of the proper manner for correcting data in the official documents (the corrected data should be crossed out to be visible, the person who performed the correction should sign and the correction fluid should not be used for corrections in official documents. In relation to the detention of this particular person, the Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the legal basis of the detention was immediately rectified, that all the police officers were reminded of the fact that the detention ends when a person is delivered to the investigating judge and that police officers were notified of the proper manner for correcting documents. • In the case of Celje PS, the NPM proposed that the confiscation of items of the detained person be performed in such manner that the sequence of the confiscated objects would be clearer (e.g. when an additional page is added - a table, the first page should indicate that the number of confiscated objects continues in the following page). Namely, upon the examination of the documentation, the NPM found that several different items which were confiscated should not be carried by the detained person. With regard to this, the Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the documentation on the detained person was examined, that on the same date another person of the same name was detained and that the receipts on the confiscation of items were included in the documentation, as necessary. • Furthermore, upon the examination of the documentation in Celje PS and Brežice PS it was found that the officer did not sign the official note on detention when the detention ended, therefore the NPM proposed that the duty officers be reminded to consistently complete all the sections of the official note. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the PS management immediately arranged for the official note to be signed by the police officer. • In relation to the examined detention procedure (Kranjska Gora PS), the NPM is of the opinion that, considering that the Kranjska Gora PS does not have or does not use detention rooms, neither did the police officers of this PS order a detention at the event site in Planica, the entry in the FIO register, in this case, was not correct and that the detention should be entered in the detention record of the unit, the officer belonging to which, actually ordered the detention. For this reason, the NPM requested that the case be investigated and the findings be communicated. With regard to the above mentioned, the Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the data in the register of detained persons were updated by entering the PS of which an officer actually ordered the detention as the unit that ordered the detention.
