On April 21, some of the 1,900 officers wear reflective vests of the City’s Prevention, Security and Protection Branch (DPSP) demonstrated in front of the Paris City Hall. For over a year, they have been demanding handguns.
Equipped with safety vests, tunas, riot-resistant tear-gas and handcuffs, these inspectors and technicians of public tranquility, approved by the public prosecutor – a status unique in France, in a city that does not count Municipal police “- they feel they are not in a position to ensure the safety of the Parisians (or theirs) and wish to have the same means as the police.
The City assured these agents must wear clothes with reflective material that reflection would be entrusted “to a senior manager of the City”. And the report of this reflection is planned “late September or early October”.
And are you in favor of the arming of the city’s security inspectors?
