Question 17426 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Dutremble draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the persistence of residential burglaries, particularly feared during holiday periods, and to the need to strengthen the protection of people and property. Every summer, many French people leave their homes with the fear of finding it broken into on their return. In 2025, the police and gendarmerie services recorded nearly 219,000 residential burglaries in France. Although this figure is down slightly compared to the previous year, it remains particularly high. In Saône-et-Loire, 1,051 residential burglaries were recorded in 2025, or nearly three burglaries per day, reminding us that rural areas and towns alike remain fully exposed to this delinquency. Beyond the material damage, a burglary constitutes a real attack on the privacy of the home and often leaves victims with a deep feeling of insecurity. The security of people and property constitutes an absolute right to which every French person must be able to claim, regardless of their place of residence. The “Operation Tranquility Holidays” and “Vigilant and Supportive Neighbors” schemes constitute useful prevention and awareness initiatives. They promote vigilance, solidarity between neighbors and cooperation with internal security forces. However, as useful as they are, they cannot alone respond to the increase in burglaries during the holiday periods. Nothing can replace a visible presence of police and gendarmerie forces on the ground, regular patrols and sufficient staff to deter offenders and effectively protect residents. He him asks, therefore, what measures the Government intends to take to strengthen the fight against burglaries during the holidays, increase the resources of the police and gendarmerie forces in the most exposed sectors and guarantee each French person effective protection of their person, their home and their property.
