Question 1642 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Philippe Gomès draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the deployment of everyday security police, tested in a few test zones by the end of 2017-beginning of 2018. He notes that this system aims to restore community policing in the most difficult neighborhoods of certain urban areas. He recalls that New Caledonia is facing a worrying worsening of acts of violence and general delinquency. He adds that this wave of insecurity is particularly significant around certain educational establishments located in the Greater Nouméa conurbation. He notes that these middle and high schools are becoming real centers of violence and the scene of incidents, the seriousness of which reflects the insufficiency of the police resources deployed on site. In this regard, he cites the recent example of a fight general which took place in front of the Grand Nouméa high school in Dumbéa, between around sixty students, some of whom were armed with category D weapons, requiring the intervention of 35 gendarmes and a helicopter. He underlines that the establishments of Greater Nouméa are now placed under the close surveillance of the gendarmerie, the national police and the municipal police, in order to guarantee the safety of students during outings. schools. However, he notes that despite the presence of visible and reassuring land for the population that this preventive measure offers, the personnel available to New Caledonia are insufficient to allow its sustainability. He recalls that the security of Caledonians is a major priority, particularly on the eve of the 2018 self-determination referendum and the tensions that this vote risks generating. He invokes therefore the relevance of installing a special daily security police unit in the Greater Nouméa conurbation and asks it to pay vigilant attention to the candidacy of New Caledonia as an experimental site for this system overseas.
