Addressing Vulnerabilities 47 1.b Female PDL not attended to by Female police/jailer in some stations The Standards provide that women prisoners should be attended to and supervised by female officers. However, during the conduct of the research, it was found that in the Northern Police District, 6 out of 13 police stations lack female police officers/jailers to attend to female PDL. The six stations are as follows: Caloocan PS, DAID-Caloocan City PS North Ext., Caloocan City PCP-3, Malabon PS, Navotas PS. In Quezon City Police District, Masambong PS lacks female police officers/jailers to attend to female PDL. In the Manila Police District, 6 out of12 police stations visited lack female police officers/jailers to attend to female PDL, these are: MPD HQ, Moriones PS, Sampaloc PS, Jose Abad Santos PS, Sta. Mesa PS, Malate PS. In the Southern Police District, Taguig PS lacks female police officers/jailers to attend to female PDL. It was also shared that this is particularly a problem when a female detainee is brought to the station and there is no female jailer present to frisk her. With these, it can be said that compliance with the Standards on the presence of female officers/jailers to handle female detainees is not fully complied with by police stations in NCR. Almost half of the police stations visited in the Northern Police District and in the Manila Police District lack the required female officers. In sum, the services as currently being offered and available through the different police stations in NCR are insufficient. Compliance with the other requirements, as well as the Standard Minimum Rules and of the Bangkok Rules is not evident. B.

On the other hand, the CHR validated data show the existence of seven (7) lock-up cells for minors in certain police stations and a total of twenty-six (26) children deprived of liberty in the five (5) Police Districts in NCR. In Quezon City Police District (QCPD), Talipapa Police Station and Galas Police Station have one (1) lock-up cell each for minors, but there were no detainees at the time of CHR visit. At the Northern Police District (NPD), the Navotas Police Station has two (2) lock-up cells for minors [one (1) for males; and one (1) for females]. At the time of the CHR visit, there were seven (7) male minors and two (2) female minors in detention. One of the 2 female child-detainees is a “special” child who sleeps in the cell with adult female detainees at night and stays at the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) during
