PART III situation in places of detention Police units – police stations and rooms for detained persons In 2018 the NMPT visited 15 rooms for detained persons or sobering-up stations within the organizational units of the Police38 as well as 12 police stations and one police headquarters39 - the first visit was monitored by the members of the UN Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture (SPT)40. Systemic problems Failure to provide medical examinations to all detained persons There is no obligation in Poland to subject every detained person to a medical examination. The list of individuals who are obligatorily subject to such an examination is specified in the regulation of the Minister of the Interior41. In practice, therefore, police officers bring to examinations only those individuals who are required by law to undergo such a procedure.
