Report on the Performance of the Activities of the National Preventive Mechanism for 2019 Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment stipulate that, as promptly as possible after their admission, every individual is to be offered a proper medical examination free of charge, and that medical care will be provided whenever necessary. During the visits, the records were also inspected. In line with our recommendation, the Arrest Report form was changed, separating the description of the actions taken towards the arrested person, from the description of the process of taking them into custody, if this later occurred, which enabled easier and simplified filling out of required documentation. Although the majority of police stations keep proper records, some still do not record the time of release; thus, the Varaždin PS does not record the time when detention order has ceased, although such a measure may last for up to 12 hours. Follow-up visits In 2019, we carried out follow-up visits of the Šibenik-Knin and Dubrovnik-Neretva CPAs, in order to assess the level of implementation of recommendations issued during regular visits in 2015 and 2016. The follow-up visit to the Šibenik-Knin CPA has IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS established that nine of the recommendations were fully implemented, five partially, and seven not at all. The construction of a detention unit has still not begun, so detainees DubrovnikNeretva CPA 8 10 10 are held in inappropriate accommodation. The accommodation conditions in the majority of police stations still does not meet CPT standards. However, the Knin and Drniš police Šibenik-Knin CPA 5 9 7 Implemented Partially implemented Not implemented stations are examples of good practice, having furnished their rooms with padded beds and installed a call button. The records are properly kept, and assessments of the justification and legality of the use of means of coercion are made within legal deadlines. The follow-up visit of the Dubrovnik-Neretva CPA has established that ten recommendations have been fully implemented and eight partially; however, those that concern accommodation conditions have not been implemented. The majority of police stations have not implemented the 2016 recommendation, on keeping separate records of copies of the Arrest Report form and the Confirmation of acquaintance with the reason for the arrest. The Metković police station is an example of good practice, as it keeps a separate record of the copies of these forms, which can be used to examine the access individuals have to their rights while deprived of their liberty. Treatment of arrested persons and those taken into custody During regular visits and follow-ups, we visited the Šibenik, Dubrovnik and Varaždin Prisons to examine how arrested and detained individuals are treated before they are taken to remand prison. 19
