PARIS: Police will get bonuses for effort to stop riots




Thousands of French police, who came under fire during France's recent unrest,
will receive bonus pay for their efforts to quell the violence, a top police
union official said Friday.

National Police Chief Michel Gaudin told a conference of police that about
22,000 officers will receive additional payments of $350 each, according to
Jean-Yves Bugelli, assistant secretary-general of the Alliance police union.

At least 3,200 suspects were arrested and more than 100 police officers were
injured in the violence.
