Ordinance on the Fees of the Cantonal Police - Scope (KTD)

1. This regulation governs the collection of costs incurred by police actions, insofar as no specific federal or cantonal provisions exist.

1. Anyone who causes police actions may be required to pay a reasonable portion of the incurred costs.

2. No costs shall be charged

a) for legal aid actions, unless they involve extraordinary costs;

b) insofar as the matter has been settled through summary penalty proceedings or by imposing a fine on the spot.

1. Minor expenses are included in the fee.

2. Significant expenses, such as costs for expert reports, external preparation of plans, inspection of vehicles by experts, etc., will be billed separately.

Following a legally binding conviction, the corresponding police costs shall be transferred to the cantonal police.

**2.** Work carried out by the Forensic Technical Service (FTS) is billed separately.
