Report of the Commissioner for Human Rights on the activities of the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture in Poland in 2017 Good practices to share NMPT employees observed some noteworthy practices in the operation of RDPs. The following practices deserve special recognition: Permanent staff working in the Centre in Płock and Czestochowa Public service is not an additional task for police officers that they may perform from time to time, alongside with other obligations. Police officers are not distracted from other duties for which they are held accountable. In the opinion of the NMPT, such an approach constitutes good basis for ensuring officer’s full involvement in the work in RDPs and willingness to improve their qualifications in the field related to establishment’s operation. This, in turn, may undoubtedly have positive impact on the way detainees as well as intoxicated persons brought to sobering-up stations are treated. Making sure that 2-3 officers are on duty at the same time in the RDP in Czestochowa This practice results in an increased level of safety for the detainees.
