Summary

Ms. Valérie Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the award of the MSI national police promotion “Aude Attacks 2018” for CRS No. 53 and No. 57. According to the interministerial delegation for victim assistance, the attacks on French soil between January 2000 and December 2018 are responsible for 259 deaths and 2,392 injured. Daily life is punctuated by these deadly attacks which have left a scar indelible in the heart of the country. Also, it is necessary to recall and congratulate the courage, strength, self-sacrifice and investment of the police, gendarmes and army corps who fight, day after day, Islamist terrorism. If France remains standing, it is thanks to these men and women who risk their lives for those of others. The MP wishes to return to the missions accomplished by the women and men of republican security companies n° 53 and n° 57 during the attacks in Trèbes and Carcassonne on March 23, 2018. The perpetrator of the attacks first robbed a motorist in Carcassonne, to steal his car. He opened fire, injuring the driver and killing the passenger. A few minutes later, on Avenue du Général Leclerc, four CRS from Marseille company no. 53 returning from a jogging were attacked and one of them was hit in the shoulder with two broken ribs and a punctured lung. The staff at the police station, as well as the people present in the premises of CRS No. 57, had set up a security perimeter around the victims and initiated the protection plan for the company barracks. They were quickly joined by the troops of CRS no. 53 stationed on site, then by those stationed in Montauban and the off-duty CRS of company no. 57 were mobilized. Until 2 p.m. that same day, the two CRS units were deployed on numerous tactical security measures: securing the red axis for the evacuation of the injured to the hospital, protecting the hospital, preserving traces and clues at the three crime scenes. A SPI4G section, equipped and trained to intervene in mass killings, remained in intervention reserve to ward off a over-attack. From 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., the missions were transformed into operational and logistical support for the specialized services arriving in the area (BRI, RAID, SDAT, PJ). The SPI4G intervention section and CRS 57 assisted RAID Toulouse during searches and arrests in the Ozanam and Laconte cities. The other sections of CRS 57 ensured the security of the RAID intervention zones on the various sites. The protection of the Carcassonne hospital and the victims was ensured by the CRS 53. Throughout the day of March 23, 2018, the CRS, administrative staff and civilians responded effectively to the numerous requests from the specialized services and the Paris anti-terrorism prosecution, installed in the secure enclosure of the unit. Finally, the two companies received numerous messages of thanks from the services external parties for their efficiency and availability during this terrible tragedy. Concerning CRS 57, 3 officers, 25 CRS on mission and one civilian were decorated with the MSI national police staple but did not have the honor of joining the “Aude Attacks 2018” promotion. For CRS 53, only the four direct victims of the attack are decorated with the MSI promotion “Attentat Aude 2018”. This is why she asks him to attribute this distinction to all the committed personnel of these two republican security companies, in the same way as the 700 decorated in this promotion. It is about continuing to tell all those who protect the lives of citizens that many French people know what they owe them.
