They apply to all police officers when they arrest or interrogate a person.

A memo of arrest must be prepared at the time of arrest and signed by a witness.
The arrested person has the right to know the reasons for arrest and to contact a lawyer, friend, or relative.
Medical examination of the arrested person is mandatory at arrest and every 48 hours while in custody.
Use of third-degree methods or torture during interrogation is strictly prohibited.
