Short-term Deprivation of liberty Likewise, the metal grids protecting lights inside the cells at the Local Police sta­ tions in Marbella and Fuengirola (Malaga) may facilitate the same suicide or self­ harm attempts, and also the porcelain bathroom fittings of these facilities, as well as those existing in the holding cells of the Spanish National Police Force station in Malaga and in the bathrooms of the Spanish National Police Force station in Medina del Campo (Valladolid). Maximum attention should be paid to the safety guarantees At said holding cells of the police station in Malaga, bed headboards have bars, as well as the steps of the built-in bunk beds at the Local Police station in Ejea de los Caballeros (Saragossa) that have two vertical bars and several horizontal ones, which may also lead to detainees trying to harm themselves. In an effort to maximize the safety guarantees, the case of the cell doors at the Catalan autonomous police force station in Sabadell (Barcelona) should be highlighted as good practice. In such cell doors, in spite of having vertical bars, a stop has been installed in the top end of its hinges to prevent any hanging or knotting and, therefore avoiding any attempt of detainees for self-harm or sui­ cide. According to information provided by the Directorate General of the Police, in 2012 a total of 386 self-harm attempts have taken place. Table 18.
