Question 16388 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Paul Christophe questions the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, about the anonymization of firefighters' complaints. Because they represent the State, internal security forces are regular victims of unacceptable physical or verbal violence. Just like police officers or gendarmes, French firefighters are regularly the subject of attacks during their interventions. This resurgence of violence is illustrated by the figures since the National Observatory of Delinquency and Penal Responses noted an increase of almost 23% in the number of firefighters victims of attacks between 2016 and 2017. This climate of violence affects firefighters, even though they are motivated solely by the desire to help. Some refuse to trivialize this violence. However, the fear of reprisals in the face of increasing aggressors more dangerous, forced other firefighters not to file a complaint. In this context, preserving the anonymity of firefighters, from the phase of filing a complaint, could protect them, as well as their families, against any desire for revenge. The use of the number instead of personal information could prove to be a pragmatic solution to avoid the renunciation of certain attacked agents to initiate legal proceedings. Consequently, he would like to know if the Government plans to authorize the anonymization of complaints from firefighters attacked in the exercise of their public service mission.
