Question 16097 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Marc de Fleurian draws the attention of the Minister of Transport to the safety of train passengers, historically ensured by the general surveillance service of the SNCF (SUGE), today "Railway Security", recognized for its skills and its high level of initial and continuing training. Its approved, sworn and armed agents benefit from exorbitant prerogatives under common law, extended by law no. 2016-339 of March 22, 2016 relating to the prevention and fight against incivility, attacks on public security and terrorist acts in collective passenger transport. These prerogatives particularly distinguish SUGE agents from those of private security companies. However, for several years, SUGE has been engaged in a profound transformation of its organization based on a logic of contractualization. increasing security missions. Combined with the opening up of rail transport to competition, this development has contributed to gradually shifting rail security from a structured national framework towards a service logic subject to contractual objectives, which has resulted in a redefinition of missions through service contracts to the detriment of management based on real security needs. This This development has already had concrete consequences: more than thirty railway security agent positions have reportedly been eliminated nationally. These closures of SUGE branches, which bring a risk of deterritorialization of its teams, call into question the capacity to guarantee in the long term a level of security that is homogeneous, coherent and meets the challenges of protecting users and staff. He asks him what guarantees he envisages to preserve effective, responsible rail security fully assumed by the State and public companies, in order to maintain the national coherence of this doctrine.
