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.
