Question 1013 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Mr. Philippe Gomès draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the expectations expressed by around fifty police officers from New Caledonia and assigned to mainland France, sometimes for more than ten years, who are trying to assert their rights to mobility to return to their native island. While he is delighted that around thirty Caledonian police officers were able to join the country, between 2016 and 2017, he recalls, however, that the law of April 20, 2016 relating to the ethics of civil servants, then the interministerial circular of March 10, 2017, recorded the taking into consideration of the “center of material and moral interests” in transfer requests requested by overseas civil servants, now making it possible to take into account both their personal situation and their family and material ties in these territories. In this regard, he notes that several dozen New Caledonian police officers, separated by 18,000 kilometers from their families or children, are still awaiting an assignment in New Caledonia, despite the fact that they meet the conditions linked to the national competition for assignment in Île-de-France relating to a compulsory period of 8 years of consecutive service in their administrative region. assignment. He underlines that if the period of this period of compulsory presence was reduced in an exceptional manner to a duration of 5 years of service, a large number of police officers could then return to the country to carry out their missions alongside their peers. He adds that New Caledonia is experiencing a worrying increase in general delinquency and is recording a significant increase in acts of violence, particularly committed against the police. He considers that the rapid return of these seasoned police officers, who are perfectly familiar with the human and social specificities linked to the local New Caledonian context from which they come, would contribute to immediately and effectively strengthening the existing workforce. He would like to know whether the Government intends to recognize the legitimacy of Caledonian police officers to benefit of a fairer and more united change. In this perspective, he invokes the need to revise the rules governing the duration of compulsory service in mainland France for Caledonian winners of the national competition for assignment to Île-de-France, and asks the Government to study the possibility, with regard to the most distant overseas territories, of lowering from 8 to 5 years the minimum period allowing them to obtain a change of status. region of assignment.
