1.5 The visits to police stations • In the procedure involving a foreigner in Ljubljana Bežigrad PS, the NPM found that the detention order included a note that the detained person was informed of their rights in “Bosnian language”, although such language cannot be found in the brochure of the Ministry of the Interior with the rights of detained persons, neither in the Ministry of the Interior poster with the rights of the detained persons, and therefore proposes that the officers be reminded to consistently complete the sections on the forms, including the part specifying the language in which the detained person was informed of their rights, and above all, to accurately specify the language in which the detained person was actually informed of their rights. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the rights from the poster were not translated into the specified language due to the similarities with Croatian and Serbian languages. •T  he inspection of a detention of a person in Ljubljana Bežigrad PS showed that the time in the first page of the detention order is different from the time in the last page of the detention order. The time in the form “on the performance of tasks during detention/apprehension - official note” differs as well. The NPM proposed that the officers be reminded to be accurate when completing the necessary forms for the detention, and above all, to enter the exact times of individual events or measures. Such different records of data on the time when the detention order was served to the detained person namely raise doubts on the time when it was actually served to the detained person. The NPM also agreed that otherwise the officers record all the activities regarding the detained person with due care, but it raises the question, whether the form “performance of tasks during detention/apprehension official note”, which is mainly intended to record the tasks during the police detention, is really the most appropriate means of recording. It might suffice that, when the detention ends and a person is taken before the investigating judge, the police officers recorded additional activities (e.g. that the person was taken into custody) in their report on the work performed and the report of the duty police officer. The also NPM expressed a concern in the inspection of one of the cases in Ljubljana Center PS. On this basis the NPM proposed that these concerns be discussed and their opinions be delivered. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that wrong data on the initiation of the police procedure were corrected in the FIO register of detained persons, and it was found that there was no misconduct by the police officers that recorded additional activities in the same form. •T  he inspection of a detention of a person in Ljubljana Bežigrad PS revealed that different times of police tasks during detention were recorded in the form “on the performance of tasks during detention/ apprehension - official note”. The position of the Ministry of the Interior in relation to the above mentioned case is the same as referred to in the previous indent. •T  he examination of a detention of a person in Ljubljana Bežigrad PS revealed that the detention case is not entirely recorded in the FIO register, since the full name of the person in detention was entered incorrectly. The NPM warns that complete personal data on the person in detention must be entered in the FIO register (all the names and last names). The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that both names and last name were entered in the FIO register. •T  he inspection of two cases in Ljubljana Center PS showed that the time of the initiation of the procedure differs in the decision on detention and and the FIO register, therefore the NPM proposed that the police officers be reminded to consistently enter the data in the FIO register. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the time in the FIO register was immediately corrected and the correct time was entered.
