CAT/OP/ROU/1/Add.1 Within the framework of the continuous preparation of the prison system staff are included topics relating to the prevention of torture and ill-treatment, discrimination and human rights. Moreover, within the Project "Strengthening the capacity of the prison system for the human resources development with regard to prison staff" during 2016 were carried out courses focussed on "Human Rights Ways of preventing discrimination", especially in the case of the Roma ethnic population (50 participants) and "European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrating Treatment or Punishment (CPT) Rules” (40 participants). With regard to the initial training, the curricula specified above have been used during 2016 for the didactic process for 751 junior officers and agents. For 2017, it is considered the drafting and posting on the e-learning platform of the topics related to the identification of signs of ill-treatment to which persons deprived of their liberty might be subject. These suport documents are intended for several profesional categories: medical staff, operative staff, social reintegration staff (psychologists, social workers). A practical aspect related to the specialized meetings for the categories mentioned, refers to lectures given by the representatives of the Romanian forensic network. Para. 54 let. c) - Accountability of special intervention forces The general principles for use of force in the Romanian Police are stated in Law no. 218/2002 and Government Decision no. 991/2005 on the Code of ethics and deontology of police officers which provide the principles recommended by the SPT (see especially art. 9 of said Code). On the subject of body-worn cameras, Ministry of Internal Affairs wish to inform the SPT that the subject has been broached in various forms by our institution and it is generally accepted as being a project with a net positive impact in law enforcement activities. However, most difficulties appear when budgetary matters are concerned. Primary rough estimates put the cost of equipping all uniformed policemen with a body-worn cameras at about €48,000,000. If considered a more restrained project of equipping body-worn cameras only on special forces police officers, the estimate should revolve between €565,000 and €1,400,000. The GIRP wishes to inform the SPT that a pilot project is undergoing through which police officers working in public order units will carry a body-worn camera so that citizens' talks are recorded and stored. The subject remains open and various ways of obtaining the necessary funding and adjusting the existent legal framework are carefully considered. We reiterate the fact that, at the level of the prison units, started a process of endowment of the members of the associated teams for special security measures with mini body worn camera. The action will continue, for endowing all the members in the mentioned structures with this kind of devices. See above the answer provided at para.51-53 from the SPT report. Regarding the recommendation about the SASS teams intervention only in emergency situations, we mention the following: The general elements regarding the way in which are managed the operational incidents have been included in the training activity for other security staff (surveillance, accompanying, escorting), for officers in execution positions as well as for the management board, with the aim to know certain ways of action and to act professionally, whenever the situation imposes it. The training modules include: solving incidents by using communication techniques by the staff who works directly with the inmates, operational incidents management, first aid, human rights issues, video recording of the way in which an incident is solved etc. The professional training of the security staff in solving the incidents is a guarantee that the intervention of SASS teams is the last resort, if any other methods of managing the incidents didn’t achieve their purpose. In conclusion, taking into account the SPTrecommendations, we point out that the associated teams for special security, constraint and control measures (SASS) 17
