premises, as well as in interrogation and conversation rooms, in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures, because functional video surveillance in the detention and interrogation rooms shall reduce the risk of possible misconduct. Regarding the treatment of children, it was pointed out that so far no child has been detained at the Police Station, and in cases when there was a need to have a conversation, it was conducted in the premises of the facility that is specifically intended for children, and in this respect the good cooperation and communication with the Centre for Social Work was emphasised. Sanitary node Within the Gostivar Police Station there are separate toilets for the detained persons and for the employed officials. Within the facility for detention of persons deprived of liberty there are special sanitary facilities for detained persons in which the hygiene was at a relatively satisfactory level. The toilet has glass mirrors which means that the risk of injury if the mirrors are broken is likely. In that part, in order to avoid the possibility of self-harm and /or infliction of injuries to other people, it is necessary to place mirrors with unbreakable glass. 2.4.2.
