Question 12485 — font

Summary

Mr. Julien Limongi questions the Minister of the Interior about the particularly worrying situation regarding the staffing and functioning of the Provins anti-crime brigade (BAC). The workforce at the BAC in Provins is today limited to three civil servants, while there were still four in July 2025, before the departure of a colleague transferred to the town of Saintes. This departure has, to date, not been compensated, despite requests repeatedly made by local police services. This shortage of staff has direct consequences on the operational functioning of the BAC. The service currently operates according to a so-called “4/2” cycle, i.e. four days of work followed by two days of rest, which translates concretely into two days without the presence of the BAC in the territory. Such a situation is particularly problematic in view of the realities local security issues. Indeed, recurring incidents of urban violence are observed in Provins, particularly in the Champbenoist district. Very recently, during the final of the African Cup of Nations, the police forces were the target of mortar fire, requiring the intervention of external reinforcements, in particular those from the BAC of Montereau. These events demonstrate that the BAC of Provins is today undersized to deal with episodes of sudden and intense violence. This deficit tends to become structural and also harms the attractiveness of the service. At constant staff numbers, it is not possible to envisage a more attractive work cycle, of the “2-2-3” type, allowing a permanent presence of the BAC in the territory. However, such an operation would require a staff of at least eight civil servants and would constitute a essential lever to strengthen both the operational efficiency and the attractiveness of the service. This situation is all the more worrying as Provins is a sub-prefecture, an important urban center, isolated from other national police districts, being surrounded mainly by areas falling under the national gendarmerie. This geographical configuration requires having appropriate human resources in order to effectively ensure maintaining order, public safety and the tranquility of residents. Also, he asks him if the Government plans not only to compensate, as soon as possible, for the departure which occurred in July 2025, but also to significantly strengthen the staff of the Provins anti-crime brigade in order to allow a permanent presence in the territory and to restore to this service the attractiveness necessary for its good performance. functioning.
