30 new police officers in Rouen – Elbeuf
This announcement echoes that of the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmaninthis Wednesday, in the presentation of its orientation and programming law.
From October 31, 2022, “30 new peacekeepers will be assigned to the security district of Rouen – Elbeuf. […] In addition, the public security districts of Rouen – Elbeuf and Le Havre are part of the priority territories who will see their numbers increase further in the months to come”, continues the prefecture.
These numbers are in addition to the forty others who have arrived since June. What to keep the promise made by Gérald Darmanin to the mayor of Rouen of 60 additional police officers on the circo ‘?
Unions satisfied but…
“We are not there yet but we are getting closer to the 60 promised”, rejoices Karim Bennacer, departmental delegate of the union Alliance. “We can only be pleased to see the arrival of new public road workers. Lately, we’ve been on edge. »
Frédéric Desguerre, regional secretary of SGP Police Unit, is less enthusiastic. “For once, the word of a minister is kept. It’s a good start, but it’s not enough”, regrets the trade unionist which estimates at 117 the number of police officers missing in Rouen to return to the numbers of 2017. “We will also have to think about strengthening the ‘small’ police stations such as Bolbec and Fecamp. »
In addition, whether at Unit SGP Police or at Alliance, we also hope to see the personnel assigned to the investigation strengthen in the future. It will probably be necessary to be patient, in the midst of the tumult around the reform of the judicial police.
