CAT/OP/ARG/1/Add.1 and investigating all cases of the use of firearms involving police and security forces personnel. In terms of monitoring, efforts have been made to improve information networks, data collection and the analysis of all cases involving the use of firearms in the police and security forces, with a view to obtaining more reliable information that can be used to analyse the general problem of the use of force. The data collection, storage and processing system of the police and security forces has therefore been improved thanks to the establishment of clear and transparent information circuits, the introduction of a single system for recording data concerning the use of firearms, the generation of statistics and the preparation of reports. 29. In addition, the Ministry of Security, in Decision No. 1069, has instructed the police and security forces to immediately inform the Rational Use of Force and Use of Firearms Programme of any incident involving the use of firearms. The standing monitoring team for investigating disciplinary matters in the police and security forces is in charge of dealing with cases involving the use of firearms with equipment designed to collect useful evidence for administrative or judicial investigations into police activities. 30. In terms of investigations, the programme organizes and coordinates the investigation of all cases involving the use of firearms by police and security forces officers in order to ascertain the actions and responsibilities of those involved and to sanction irregularities, excessive use of force or any form of conduct contrary to police regulations, where appropriate. To that end, the Under-Secretariat for Coordination with the Judiciary and the Public Prosecution Service and the Directorate for Monitoring the Causes of Institutional Violence within the Ministry work in partnership to follow up and monitor judicial proceedings related to police activities. They also coordinate with the judiciary and the Public Prosecutor on cases involving police or security force personnel. 31. In administrative terms, Ministerial Decision No. 1069/2012 has made it mandatory to conduct administrative investigations, regardless of court proceedings, in all cases resulting in death and/or injury and/or actions contrary a priori to the regulations governing the use of firearms. The Under-Secretariat for Security Policy and Territorial Response and the National Human Rights Directorate are responsible for initiating, monitoring and following up disciplinary proceedings. V. Federal prisons 32. The National Directorate of the Federal Prison Service and the Under-Secretariat for Prison Affairs, attached to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, have prepared reports on the preliminary and concluding observations of the Subcommittee (see annex 2). Some of the substantive points of those reports are reproduced below. A. General issues 33. The National Directorate of the Federal Prison Service notes that the management model of the Federal Penitentiary Service in line with national public policy is based on the exercise of authority through transparent and accountable political and institutional processes, which respect the dignity of persons and encourage the participation of citizens and other relevant government agencies. 34. Inclusive policies have been conducted for the purpose of building a sense of citizenship and re-establishing family bonds, following the paradigm shift towards prioritizing the full respect for and comprehensive protection of the rights of persons deprived of their liberty as being essential for establishing the appropriate capacity-building and training activities required for successful social integration.
