Police Emergency Centres for Children Success of the CHR’s efforts: provisions on body search considered unconstitutional Minors who are admitted to Police Emergency Centres for Children are subject to a body search during which - in justified cases - they are requested to take off their clothes and underwear. Yet, pursuant to the regulation of the Minister of the Interior of 4 June 2012 on rooms for detained persons or intoxicated persons to sober up, transitional facilities and police emergency centres for children, as well as rules and regulations on the stay in such facilities and procedures used for image recordings of those facilities (Dz.U. [Journal of Laws] of 2012, item 638), the police officer may perform those activities without leaving the detainee in underwear only or without obliging him/her to undress completely. 78 79 80 81 82 83 YCC in Lidzbark Warmiński KMP.573.28.2017, YCC no. 3 in Warsaw KMP.573.29.2017, YCC in Oława KMP.573.33.2017 YCC in Mszana Dolna KMP.573.16.2017.
