Question 42966 — font

Summary

Mrs. Myriane Houplain draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the notorious deterioration of working conditions in the police and to the increase in cases of suicide. In twenty-five years, nearly 1,100 police officers have committed suicide. Now, nearly 24% say they are faced with suicidal thoughts. On the front line in the fight against delinquency and crime, police officers regularly see their working conditions deteriorate. If declarations from the supervisory authorities on the need to remedy this situation are regularly made, it is clear that, on the ground, the improvements are absolutely not significant. Police officers suffer from often very degraded material working conditions with increasingly dilapidated premises, but perhaps and above all in due to the lack of consideration on the part of the administration. The explosion of delinquency confronts them every day with an increasingly dangerous environment, with ever more sustained rates. The figures policy introduced during previous mandates continues to produce catastrophic effects. In general, police officers have become targets, subject to regular attacks by extremely violent offenders. Faced with this dramatic observation, in addition to the essential pronouncement of exemplary sentences against those who attack the police, the question arises of the consideration which must be given by the hierarchy to its police officers, in particular through the possibilities of advancement. The current deadlines for obtaining advancement are particularly long, on average ten years, which tends to discourage many civil servants. Consequently, he therefore asks him to kindly provide him with a precise and objective inventory of the material and moral difficulties facing police officers as well as the measures that can be taken as soon as possible in order to substantially upgrade their status and thus enable them to exercise their public service mission in optimal conditions.
