4.1.4 Positive findings Implementation of regular recommendations of the Federal Agency The Federal Agency was pleased to note that the Federal Police accepted and implemented regular recommendations from the Federal Agency. This includes, for instance, keeping all common information forms in a large number of languages. The detention cells of almost all the facilities which were visited were large enough, very clean and in excellent condition. The Federal Agency would like to particularly mention that many of the recommendations of the most recent Annual Report had already been implemented in several facilities of the Federal Police and Federal Armed Forces although they had not yet been visited at that time. Federal Police Headquarters also forwarded to the Federal Agency the existing space utilisation programme for detention cells and requested an assessment as to whether this also meets the standards set by the Federal Agency when inspecting detention cells. This makes it clear that a system of inspection visits can also lead to better protection of the persons accommodated beyond the facility visited. Basic and further training for accompanying of return flights The Federal Agency considers further training of the officers who are deployed in returns with the essential learning content of deployment and situation training courses, practical training as to the application of direct force, and operational communication with de-escalating negotiations to be expedient and important. It is also gratifying that topics related to intercultural skills, as well as medical aspects, are taken into consideration as preparation for deployment, as is the case for the staff of the station at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. 4.1.5 Recommendations of the Federal Agency and the reaction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior Fire protection The Federal Agency considers fire alarms in the detention cells to be necessary in order to guarantee the protection of the persons being detained in the event of a fire. Reaction: The facilities visited would be post-fitted with fire alarms. Officers would carry out regular checks in addition to the applicable provisions until the construction measures were completed. 26
