Premiums are awarded to law enforcement officers under the conditions set out in articles R. 190 and R. 191 when there has been forced execution and the arrest has required duly recorded special searches.
There is no need to distinguish, from the point of view of entitlement to the allowance, according to whether the officer who carried out the arrest was the bearer of the warrant or extract of the judgment or arrest or had merely been advised of the existence of this document by a circular or an insertion in a police bulletin.
Only the highest gratuity is awarded if the accused or convicted person was the subject of several warrants, committal orders, judgments or sentences.
