Question 21806 — overseas

Summary

Mrs. Manuéla Kéclard-Mondésir alerts the Minister for Overseas Territories to the increasingly numerous and violent acts of violence, with firearms or bladed weapons, which are occurring in the Antilles and Guyana, and in particular on Martinique territory. Although significant efforts were undertaken in 2018 to strengthen the operational capacities of the internal security forces (ISF) assigned to Martinique, they remain very insufficient and below metropolitan ratios. In fact, in recent months, the illegal circulation of firearms seems to have increased. However, the specialized police force capable of responding effectively to this phenomenon, like the judicial police force, is clearly insufficient in the territory given this galloping increase in crime. It is not insignificant to note that two departments or Overseas communities are among the most criminogenic French departments. She therefore wishes to know if she plans to suggest to her interior counterpart to quickly create in Martinique and Guadeloupe a decentralized service of the Central Office for the Fight against Organized Crime (OCLCO), the only one competent in the fight against arms trafficking. Likewise, she wants to know if measures will be taken to increase the human and operational resources of the interregional judicial police directorate in Martinique and Guadeloupe.
