English translation

While conducting inquiries, a police officer must hear the statements of persons making reports, and may summon witnesses, hear their statements and record them in his report. However, he may not administer an oath to them or require them to sign their statements. All acts and procedures undertaken by the police concerning the incident must be recorded in the inquiry reports, whether or not those procedures produced results.
