PS Ljubljana Vič realised the NPM’s previous recommendation and installed switches for regulating artificial light in detention rooms. Access‑ to the police station and certain toilets had also been adjusted for the disabled. During the visit, we also noticed the NPM brochure in front of the detention rooms, which was particularly commendable. We especially commended PP Maribor I for constructing an additional (separate) entrance for police officers who enter the building through the garage. They no longer have to enter through the entrance intended for bringing in, and accommodating, detainees in relevant premises. When visiting PS Novo mesto, we particularly commended that the NPM’s proposals from the previous visit were observed, i.e. to darken part of the video surveillance system so that it would not cover the toilet section in detention room no. 4, and that notifications on the rights of detained persons had been placed in all detention rooms, including the NPM’s recommendation from the previous visit that the room for receiving detained persons be equipped with heating. PS Ormož was commended for the cleanliness and good ventilation of detention rooms and the implementation of a previous recommendation according to which the label ‘Room no. 5’ had been removed from the cabinet for storing seized items. When visiting PS Ptuj we discovered that our previous recommendation had been realised, since the room for receiving detainees was under video surveillance during the visit. A system for regulating artificial light had been installed in the detention rooms; a video surveillance system had been installed in the recreation area, and mattresses replaced in detention rooms. PS Ptuj was thus commended. PS Radovljica was particularly commended during the visit: the interview room was equipped with the new MNZ brochure on the rights of detained persons in several languages, MNZ brochures with information on the asylum procedure in several languages (English, Roma, Arabic, Russian and French), the MNZ poster on the rights of detained persons in several languages and printed copies of the rights of minor detainees; a collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations had been installed at the entrance to the station; access to the duty officer was enabled also for the disabled with the installation of a ramp next to the stairs, and the PS also has a parking space for the disabled. PS Ravne na Koroškem was particularly commended because it had regularly updated the list of lawyers, which was evident from the table attached where the date and the person verifying the data were recorded. The station had also realised the NPM’s recommendation from the previous visit and removed some of the chairs in the interview room, which had created a feeling of cluttering. We particularly commended PS Sevnica for video surveillance of the interview room (used also for conversations with lawyers), which is marked accordingly; whereby our recommendation from the previous visit had been realised. We particularly commended PS Škofja Loka for installing a thermometer in the room for receiving detainees, thus realising a recommendation from our previous visit. PS Tolmin received a commendation for realising our recommendations from the previous visit, since it was disposing of bed linen and pillows during this visit, and it had also ensured the installation of a collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations. PS Trebnje received a special commendation because it had realised our previous recommendations, i.e. detention rooms were equipped with a suitable video surveillance system and a collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations had been installed. PS Vrhnika was commended in particular for realising our two recommendations from the previous visit. The room for receiving detained persons had been equipped with a video surveillance system and the room for receiving clients painted, while access to the duty police officer had also been arranged for the disabled.
