Annual Report 2016 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism against Torture avoid the detainees using them to injure themselves. Cell door, Local Police in Benidorm (Alicante) Presence of agents in the custody area §84 AR 2014 Incomplete Record Book §85 and 86 AR 2014 44 17. We should insist on the need for custody officers to be present in the inmate jail area, in order to avoid the risk of emergency situations, even if detainees have alarm systems; this is particularly important in cases where there is no video surveillance in the jail area or inside the cells. A shortage of officers was observed on facilities of the Local Police in Benidorm (Alicante) and Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville); CNP police stations in Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville), the Balearic Islands and Zamora; and Civil Guard facilities in Casetas (Zaragoza) and Zamora. 18. In most of the facilities visited (except for Civil Guard facilities in Salamanca, Santander, Zamora and CNP facilities in Gijón, Logroño and Zaragoza), we have noticed that detainee custody pages held in the Record and Custody Book are still incomplete and fail to enter all events related to detainees (e.g. frisks, taking of statements, food offered, etc.), or have not been completed because the detainee was not jailed.
