Police Cells.
Dear The Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland,
1. Have police cells in the UK been assessed by the Health and Safety Executive. If so, what are the findings.
2. Is liquid soap or ordinary soap provided to those held in custody in police stations for handwashing purposes after toileting [ the toilet we presume is in the cell]
3. Have police cells been assessed for suitability/safety to mentally ill individuals such as those suffering from minor issues such as a. Anxiety b. Claustrophobia 3. Depressive illnesses.
4. What is the rate of post traumatic stress disorder following custody in police cells. Does the ACPO hold any data on this.
5. What are the rights of people who are held in police custody in cells. For instance, are they entitled to food,water, medication etc.
6. What are the entitlements and protocol to prescribed medication. For instance, if a ulcer patient needed lanzoprazole.
7. In social media, does the following behaviour amount to acts of harassment.
a. Writing articles online or reporting judgments of the regulatory bodies, courts, Employment tribunals.
b. Writing issues related to the factual incidents on police matters.
c. Making complaints to organisations.
d. The right to litigation or threatening to litigate by email.
e. Writing concerns about any professional to Parliament ie emails to Parliament.
f. Has the Harassment Act ever been assessed in line with Article 10 of the Human Rights Act. If so, when was this and do you have the results.
g. Are police obliged to monitor rights under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act when issuing Harassment Warnings or arrests under the Harassment Act. If so, what training are they given on Article 10 of the Human Rights Act.
8. Has any protocol been developed on handling complaints made against evidence based whistleblowers. For instance, does the ACPO know the statistics where the police authorities have been used by individuals seeking to attack whistleblowers . By this we mean, abusing the police system to conduct whistleblower reprisal.
9. What is the guidance on cross border arrests. Should one force seek the permission from a second area police before an arrest in that area? If so, what guidance does the ACPO have on this aspect.
10. In circumstances where main carers are arrested, does the police routinely inform the GP about the disabled person left on their own or what guidance has the ACPO developed with respect to arrests of those caring for elderly/infirm individuals.
With thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Matt Jay
