Judicial Police Officers may, during the gathering of evidence, hear the statements of all persons who have information about the criminal offenses and their perpetrators, and may question the Accused about the same. They may also seek the assistance of doctors and other persons of expertise; however, they may only administer the oath to witnesses or experts if they have concerns that it would be impossible for their statements to be heard afterwards.
