Sanitary node
Within the facility for detention of persons deprived of liberty, there is no special
sanitary node for the detained persons, more precisely, the same toilet is used as for the
officials.
There is also a toilet for the officials on the ground floor, which is also used by the
detainees. In order to prevent possible self-harm, the mirrors were removed from it.

persons
A poster with the rights of the summoned, detained and detained persons in seven
languages, as well as the Code of Police Ethics, were placed in a visible place in the hallway of the Police Station. Instructions on rights were also displayed in the office of the
shift manager, as well as the hallway in front of the detention rooms and in the rooms
themselves.
The NPM team was informed by the shift manager that the detainees and persons
deprived of liberty in the police station are also orally informed about the right to call a defence counsel, to inform a third party about their detention, that is, deprivation of liberty,
as well as the right to seek medical attention, which is appropriately noted in the relevant
written forms.
In a conversation with the officials at the Police Station, the NPM team was
informed that there is a special budget of 1,000.00 denars intended for food for
the detained persons.
At the entrance of the Police Station, a box of the Sector for Internal Affairs has been
placed, where the citizens can submit a complaint for the actions of the police officers in
the performance of the police authorizations.

are regularly recorded, all the sections are filled in, and when correcting the entered data
incorrectly, no corrective means are used.
