For the application of Article 706-24, there is kept, at the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Paris Court of Appeal, a listed and initialled register in which are recorded the authorisations to identify themselves by their administrative registration number issued by the Paris Public Prosecutor to officers or agents of the judicial police assigned to judicial police services specially responsible for combating terrorism, and to which copies of these authorisations are appended.
Administrative registration numbers are given by the head of the department. They may be different for each procedure in which judicial police officers or agents are involved. These numbers are recorded, for each procedure, in a register held by the department, to which the authorisations are attached. The authorisations are valid for the duration of the assignment of the judicial police officers or agents to the department.
These officers and agents may omit their usual signature from the reports they draw up, by using a signature reproducing, where appropriate, all or part of the registration number and a copy of which they have affixed in the register provided for in the second paragraph of this article.
