Question 18914 — font

Summary

Mr. Patrice Verchère draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to suicide prevention within the police and the national gendarmerie. Indeed, civil servants in these administrations are particularly affected by this scourge. In 2017, the suicide rate in the police was on average three times higher than the rest of the French population. In 2018, 35 police officers and 33 gendarmes killed themselves. This situation is particularly worrying and these deaths are family tragedies that could be avoided if effective prevention actions were put in place. While the police have been in particular demand for many months between the terrorist risk and social movements, they appear more and more disillusioned. On May 29, 2018, the previous Minister of the Interior launched a program of awareness against suicide in the police. He asks him to please indicate whether this program has been extended to the national gendarmerie and to specify the actions put in place to prevent this risk, in particular those relating to the working conditions of the police such as the state of the premises or working hours.
