1.5 The visits to police stations •T  he NPM also reminded Kranjska Gora PS to be more accurate in entering confiscated items into the form of the receipt of confiscated items. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the police officers were reminded to be more consistent. •U  pon the examination of the detention of a foreigner in Radovljica PS, it was established that the greater part of the form on “the performance of tasks during detention/apprehension - official note” was changed or only contained data on the detained/apprehended person and the section of the task during detention and that the sections on “health condition of the detained person, medical attention and treatment, notification of an advocate, notification of a diplomatic mission or consular post, notification of relatives, notification of the District Prosecutor’s Office and the investigating judge, notification of the military police and screening of person” were deleted. For this reason, the NPM delivered an opinion that such changes to the official form are not appropriate. In relation to the above mentioned, the Ministry of the Interior stated that the police introduced changes in the recording of detention to reduce administrative burden and for more efficient use of working time in carrying out police duties. Two forms were available in that period, among which the officer selected one. With regard to this, the Ministry of the Interior stated that the officer should register all the particularities in relation to the enforcement of rights of the detained person, regardless of which form was selected. •F  urthermore, the NPM also reminded the Radovljica PS that the date entry of the detention order in the FIO register needs to be corrected and proposed that the police officers and the chiefs that exercise the supervision with regard to detentions be reminded to be more accurate, when entering detentions in the FIO register. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the police units were reminded to be more accurate and consistent in completing official documents. •D  uring the inspection of the documentation in Tržič PS, it was established that the time of the detention order and the time of the notification of the doctor were corrected, and it was not clear who entered these corrections, therefore the NPM proposed that the police officers be reminded to properly correct the date in the documents necessary to carry out the detention. The Ministry of the Interior reminded the police officers to properly correct official documents. •F  urthermore, when inspecting the documentation of a foreigner in the Brežice PS, the NPM found that the section, in which the person was informed about their rights included “in a language they understand”. The NPM is of the opinion that such recording is inappropriate and proposes that the exact language in which the person was informed about their rights be specified in the future. It was also established in this case (and in another case in Šentjernej PS) that under the sections of the detention order on informing the relatives the police officer circled that the detained person did not demand to inform these persons, while at the same time the date and time were recorded under the section (evidently the time when the person was informed of this right). The NPM is of the opinion that such practice is inappropriate and proposes that in case the detained person does not demand the notification of their relatives, lawyer or employer, diplomatic mission or consular post, these data not be recorded, since such record would raise doubts whether the detained person demanded the notification of the above mentioned in spite of this. The Ministry of the interior agreed with the opinions of the NPM. •T  he inspection of a person in Brežice PS showed that the official note recorded superficial abrasions on the outside of the face and visible marks from handcuffs and the person was not examined by a doctor. The NPM proposes that in such cases a medical examination by a doctor be provided, for this would also be in the best interest of the police officers, as the injuries resulted from the use of restraints. Upon the examination of the detention order concerning the same person, it was established that it was served an hour too late. For this reason, the NPM warned that police officers be accurate when completing forms, and, above all, that they respect the statutory provisions regarding the time when a certain document must be served and signed by the person in detention. The Ministry of the Interior informed the NPM that the management of the police unit reminded the officer responsible and all the other officers to consistently meet the time limits for serving the prescribed documents to detained persons, whereas in relation to providing a medical examination the NPM was informed that the police officer adequately recorded the established injuries of the detained person in the official note and that no circumstances existed in the case in question, which would indicate that immediate medical assistance is necessary, neither was it demanded by the person in detention.
