1.5 The visits to police stations Food and water The majority of PSs provide detained persons with food in the form of different types of lunch packages, including those for vegetarians. The expiry date was acceptable. Some PSs (conducting longer detentions) have contracts for food supply (warm meals) (Ljubljana Police Detention Centre) or provide warm meals through the operational support section (PS Ravne na Koroškem). Health care of detained persons Medical attention is provided by taking the detained person to the nearby 24-hour health care centre, or a doctor comes to the PS. Intervention vehicles An inspection of an intervention vehicle in Kranjska Gora PS was performed. It was found that the the area for the transport of detained persons was clean and equipped with handgrips allowing the detained person to hold on. Recreation yard Recreation yard is intended for exercise and smoking of detained persons. The majority of PSs do not have a special recreation yard, which is not appropriate, particularly in the case of PSs with rooms for longer periods of detention. The police station’s courtyards are used for this purpose and an escort or personal surveillance is provided for in such a case. The NPM welcomes the recreation yard in Brežice PS which has an appropriately marked videosurveillance and is partially covered which enables detained persons to take walks in poor weather conditions, but in spite of that, with regard to the above mentioned recreation yard, the NPM proposed to install an ashtray in the recreation yard. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the above mentioned PS will provide an ashtray. At the Ljubljana Police Detention Centre smoking and walking of the detained persons are still allowed in a special fenced yard, which is also (partially) covered for the case of bad weather. Room for lawyers PSs have either a special room for lawyers or other rooms used for this purpose (reception room for detained persons, interrogation room, studies for police officers). In addition to the list of lawyers published on the police website, all PSs have the list of lawyers available in printed form. For the Brežice PS and Dravograd PS, where the list of lawyers was not dated, the NPM proposed that a new list be provided and that it be regularly updated. With regard to Dravograd PS, the NPM particularly emphasised that the response report of the Ministry of the Interior No. 07033/2013/7 of (207-06) notified that all units were warned that the list of lawyers must be printed every three months due to the regular updating. With regard to Brežice PS the Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the list was already updated and with regard to Dravograd PS, that the list was already updated upon the visit and that the unit was (once again) warned, that the list is to be printed every three months and, above all, that its date must be clearly marked. Some PSs (Ljubljana Center PS, Kranjska Gora PS) had their room for interviews with a lawyer under a video-surveillance system which was marked with a suitable label, while some police stations (Brežice PS) only had an audio-device.
