The MNZ replied that meals with expired periods of use had been thrown away immediately. We proposed that PS Slovenske Konjice throw away cold meals with expired periods of use. The MNZ replied that the meals had been thrown away. We again proposed that PS Trebnje provide running water in detention rooms. The MNZ replied that this proposal would be examined and realised within the framework of major construction works, which were not anticipated at the time. Until then, detainees would be given drinking water in plastic cups from the tap and would also be provided with bottled water. We proposed that PS Trebnje obtain at least few packages of cold meals, although permanent standby duty is not implemented at this station. The MNZ responded that a few cold meals would be provided to PS. Storage of items seized from detainees We proposed that PS Celje install an additional cabinet in the hallway in front of detention rooms to be used exclusively for storing seized items, enabling their separate storage and suitable protection by locking. The MNZ replied that police officers would install a cabinet in the hallway in front of detention rooms to be used exclusively for storing seized items. We proposed that PS Kranj mark shelves in the cabinet for keeping seized items and containers with numbers 1 to 3, similarly to the marking of detention rooms. The MNZ replied that PS Kranj marked the shelves and containers for storing temporarily seized items from detainees with the same numbers marking the detention rooms, i.e. numbers 1 to 3. We proposed to PS Ljubljana Bežigrad that only one certificate of seized items be issued to detainees for seized items, which they cannot have in their possession during detention (and which accompanies them throughout detention), and not like in the case of PS Ljubljana Bežigrad, which ordered detention and issued a certificate of seized items, which was then also issued by Ljubljana Police Detention Centre, which implemented the detention. The MNZ replied that it was correct for the police officers to issue two certificates to the detainee. In the concrete case, there was no need to seize the belt from the trousers during the first seizure of items which was later seized before accommodation in the detention room, and which had to be recorded on the second certificate. At PS Ljubljana Bežigrad, the NPM established that a detainee deprived of their liberty should not have been in possession of a dangerous item, which a pocket knife certainly is, for such a long time, and that police officers should have seized or removed the item immediately during the first security search (at 17:41 in this case, not only about two hours later after detention was ordered). The MNZ responded that officers had been warned that the pocket knife should have been seized from the detainee already during the first security search. 122 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
