Poročilo Varuha človekovih pravic Republike Slovenije o izvajanju nalog državnega preventivnega mehanizma za leto 2011 18 Implementation of the Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2011 Obiski policijskih postaj Visits to police stations V letu 2011 smo obiskali 19 policijskih postaj po Sloveniji (PPIU Kranj, PP Bled, PP Idrija, PP Tolmin, PP Jesenice, PP Kranj, PP Izola, PP Koper, PP Ptuj, PPIU Murska Sobota, PP Lenart, PP Šentilj, PP Cerknica, PP Ilirska Bistrica, PP Škofja Loka, PP Grosuplje, PP Ribnica, PP Gornja Radgona ter PP Ruše). Ob obiskih smo zopet opazili, da so bili policisti dobro seznanjeni z našim nalogami in pooblastili, tako da je naše delo potekalo nemoteno. Vsi obiski so bili nenapovedani. Po vsakem obisku je skupina pripravila poročilo o ugotovitvah s priporočili, ki je bilo poslano Ministrstvu za notranje zadeve (MNZ) in zadevni Policijski postaji (PP), kjer je bil opravljen nadzor. Nineteen police stations in Slovenia were visited in 2011 (PPIU Kranj, PP Bled, PP Idrija, PP Tolmin, PP Jesenice, PP Kranj, PP Izola, PP Koper, PP Ptuj, PPIU Murska Sobota, PP Lenart, PP Šentilj, PP Cerknica, PP Ilirska Bistrica, PP Škofja Loka, PP Grosuplje, PP Ribnica, PP Gornja Radgona and PP Ruše). During the visits, we observed again that police officers were well-informed of our duties and powers, which enabled smooth operations. All visits were unannounced. After each visit, the group prepared a report on the findings, with recommendations sent to the Ministry of the Interior (MNZ) and visited police station (PP) for information. Poročila so nastala na podlagi pregleda prostorov za pridržanje, pogovora z vodstvom PP, pogovora s pridržanimi osebami ter na podlagi pregleda dokumentacije, povezane s pridržanjem oseb. MNZ se je redno odzivalo na naša poročila in se v večini primerov strinjalo z našimi ugotovitvami ter nam zagotovilo, da so nekatere pomanjkljivosti že odpravili oziroma da so predvidene izboljšave. The reports were prepared on the basis of examinations of detention rooms, an interview with the PP management, an interview with detained persons, and on the basis of reviewing documents related to the detention of persons. MNZ regularly responded to our reports and, in the majority of cases, agreed with our findings and assured that some deficiencies had already been eliminated or that improvements were planned. Obiski PP so še naprej potekali po ustaljenem zaporedju: najprej je skupina, ki so jo sestavljali predstavniki Varuha in predstavniki ene, dveh ali treh pogodbenih nevladnih organizacij, opravila ogled vseh prostorov za pridržanje, vključno s pomožnimi prostori (prostori za sprejem, za tujce in odvetnika, skladišče, prostor za sprehod). Visits to PPs were conducted according to the established order: first, the representatives of the Ombudsman and of one, two or three contractual organisations performed an examination of all detention rooms, including auxiliary rooms (reception area, room for foreigners, for the lawyer, warehouse, recreation yard). Pri splošnem pregledu PP smo pogledati tudi parkirne prostore za stranke, označenost parkirnih prostorov in ustrezen dostop za invalidne osebe, garderobne prostore za policiste ter morebitno ločenost za moške in ženske. In the general examination of the PP, we also checked parking space for clients, the signage of parking and appropriate access for the disabled, changing rooms for police officers and potential separation of men and women. Nato je sledil ogled intervencijskih vozil, če so bila med našim obiskom na PP, potem je bil na vrsti pogovor z vodstvom PP (največkrat s komandirjem, pomočnikom komandirja ali z dežurnim policistom), ko smo pregledali tudi dokumentacijo pridržanj naključno izbranih primerov (spisov). Ob vsakem obisku smo pridobili tudi statistične podatke o številu pridržanih in zadržanih oseb po Zakonu o nadzoru državne meje na obiskanih PP v letu 2011 (od leta 1. 1. do dneva obiska). An inspection of intervention vehicles, if they were present during our visit to the PP, was carried out first, followed by the review of documentation (files) of randomly selected cases of detention and interview with the PP management (mostly with the commander, assisstant commander or duty officer). On each visit, we also obtained statistical data on the number of detained and persons held under the State Border Control Act at the visited PP in 2011 (from 1 January to the date of the visit). Osnovni podatki o prostorih za pridržanje Basic information on detention rooms Število prostorov za pridržanje se razlikuje po PP, ki imajo od enega do šest prostorov za pridržanje, za krajša in za daljša pridržanja. Na nekaterih PP imajo prostore za pridržanje, vendar jih zaradi različnih razlogov ne uporabljajo (PP Jesenice, PP Bled in PP Koper). V takih primerih uporabljajo prostore za pridržanje na drugih PP. Among PPs, the number of detention rooms varies from one to six, for shorter and longer periods of detention. Some PPs have detention rooms, but for different reasons, these are not used (PP Jesenice, PP Bled and PP Koper). Detention rooms at other PPS are used for such cases. Dostop do prostorov za pridržanje je v nekaterih primerih mogoč neposredno čez dvorišče (z intervencijskim vozilom). Le na eni PP (PP Koper), kjer so prostori za pridržanje v pritličju, je dostop skozi glavna vrata mimo dežurnega policista. In some cases, access to detention rooms is possible directly across a courtyard (in an intervention vehicle). In one PP (PP Koper), where the detention rooms are located on the ground floor, access is through the main door and past the duty officer. Ob ogledu prostorov za pridržanje smo se osredotočili na ustrezno opremljenost, označenost in velikost prostorov, ustrezno osvetlitev (dnevna in umetna svetloba), primerno temperaturo in prezračevanje prostorov ter čistočo, sanitarije, dostop do pitne vode, oskrbe s hrano, videonadzor prostorov in klicno možnost, opremljenost prostorov z informacijami in brošurami o pravicah pridržanih oseb, možnost za gibanje na prostem ter možnost kajenja (in bivanja v sobah brez kajenja), urejenost pritožbenih poti in (ne)primerno pokritost sanitarnih prostorov z videonadzornim sistemom. In examining the detention rooms, our focus was primarily on proper equipment, the labelling and size of rooms, proper lighting of rooms (daylight and artificial light), proper temperature, ventilation and cleanliness of rooms, toilets, access to drinking water, food supply, videosurveillance of rooms and the option to make telephone calls, equipment of rooms with information and brochures on the rights of detained persons, the possibility for outdoor exercise and smoking (and staying in non-smoking rooms), regulation of complaints channels and (im) proper video-surveillance of toilets.
