Short-term deprivation of liberty Custody page (incomplete on the back) Detainee belongings §87 AR 2014 Intercoms and mechanically opened cells §88 AR 2014 19. Some facilities still lack zip-up bags to hold detainee belongings, which only the detainee may open, as was ascertained during our visits made to Civil Guard facilities in Alagón (Zaragoza), Casetas (Zaragoza), Chiclana de la Frontera (Cádiz) and Guadalajara, or the local police in Benidorm (Alicante) and Villajoyosa (Alicante). 20. Communication between detainees and public officers has improved in some facilities with the installation of intercoms inside the cells, as was noted at the Civil Guard facilities of Salamanca and San Sebastián (Guipuzcoa) and the CNP police stations in Gijón (Asturias), Guadalajara, Logroño (La Rioja) and Zaragoza. Furthermore, devices for the mechanical opening of cells, noted in Civil Guard facilities in Barcelona or on the premises of the Audiencia Nacional [Spanish National Court] in Madrid, allow cells to be rapidly opened in emergency situations. Identification §90 AR 2014 21. The need for CNP and Civil Guard public officers to be duly identified, foreseen in SES Instruction 13/2007, is not being fulfilled at the Head Police Station in Asturias and police stations of Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville), district police station in Puente de Vallecas (Madrid), Balearic Islands, La Laguna (Tenerife), Logroño (La Rioja) and San Fernando (Cádiz) and the Civil Guard Command Headquarters in Cádiz and barracks in Valdemoro (Madrid). Likewise, Local Police agents in Bilbao (Vizcaya) totally lacked an identity badge; although this identification is not required by regulation, it is certainly recommendable. 45
