On 22.5.1987, a law was introduced in Denmark according to which persons under the influence of alcohol detained by the police should, as a rule, be medically examined. In Denmark (not including the Faroe islands and Greenland), 40% out of 26,598 persons placed in detention were medically examined in 1988. Out of 918 persons placed in detention in the Odense police district, 66% were medically examined and of these 5% were referred to hospital for further examination and/or treatment. Four of these were admitted, three of whom had life-threatening poisonings and one on account of a potentially disabling condition. No deaths occurred in detention in Odense. It seems reasonable that all persons placed in detention should be seen by a doctor and, similarly, the protective function of detention should be emphasized.
1987年5月22日，丹麦出台了一项法律，规定警方拘留的受酒精影响人员通常应接受医学检查。在丹麦（不包括法罗群岛和格陵兰岛），1988年被拘留的26598人中，40%接受了医学检查。在欧登塞警区被拘留的918人中，66%接受了医学检查，其中5%被送往医院进一步检查和/或治疗。其中4人被收治，3人有危及生命的中毒情况，1人因可能导致残疾的病症。在欧登塞，拘留期间没有发生死亡事件。似乎所有被拘留人员都应由医生检查是合理的，同样，应强调拘留的保护功能。
