Question 16780 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Dutremble draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the increasing number of refusals to comply and the increasingly serious violence committed against the police. On Saturday June 27, 2026, in Montceau-les-Mines, in Saône-et-Loire, a police officer was deliberately hit and then dragged for several meters by a driver who refused to comply during a road check. Seriously injured, the official had to be hospitalized before being able to return home a few days later. This particularly serious act once again illustrates the violence that police officers and gendarmes face every day in the exercise of their missions. This tragedy is far from being an isolated case. In the space of just a few hours, police officers were injured following refusal to comply near Cannes, in Montceau-les-Mines, in Villeurbanne or even in Seine-Saint-Denis. Throughout the country, individuals no longer hesitate to use their vehicle as a weapon to escape control. Each year, more than 22,000 refusals to comply are recorded in France. Behind this figure lies an alarming reality: police officers and gendarmes risk their lives daily to enforce the law, while a feeling of impunity seems to have taken hold among some. delinquents. This trivialization of violence against law enforcement weakens the authority of the State and threatens the security of all. The MP is concerned about this situation. He asks him to indicate the evolution, over the last five years, of the number of police officers and gendarmes injured when refusing to comply, what concrete measures the Government intends to take to put an end to this situation, to guarantee sanctions rapid and exemplary actions against the authors of these acts and put an end to the feeling of impunity which surrounds them, as well as its position on a strengthening of the sanctions applicable to the authors of refusal to comply having endangered the lives of the police.
