The text had to count more than thirty articles, he experienced a thinning cure during the summer: fifteen provisions, at most, will be integrated into the Orientation and Programming Law of the Ministry of the Interior, The big parliamentary project of the start of the school year for Gérald Darmanin, who is due to present it on Wednesday, September 7 in the Council of Ministers. Place Beauvau, we recall that with an announced program of 15 billion euros over five years, this bill has embodied “a reform wanted by all ministers for forty years and never completed”. And to win that the text will arouse “a fairly large consensus, at least with regard to the findings”.

“We have the envelope and the main lines, we are waiting for detail,” warns Mickaël Taverne, Northern deputy (RN) and police, who says he wants to remain “pragmatic and constructive”: no obstruction of principle , but expectations of precision despite everything. For Mr. Darmanin, the danger of seeing the examination of the text bang – while his reform must come into force in early 2023 – comes from the seventy -five elected officials of France rebellious in the National Assembly, which will not have No need to convince their socialist, environmental and communist partners of the new ecological and united popular union to reach the quorum of sixty deputies essential for the seizure of the Constitutional Council.

In order to give as many sockets as possible to the opposition, there are no longer in the text certain measures which had been initially planned there. Those under immigration and territorial administration, in particular, no longer present, according to Beauvau, of “emergency character”. As for those relating to the “image status”, a new definition of which is made essential by the multiplication of recording means (on -board cameras and pedestrians, video surveillance, drones, etc.), they impose important framing work upstream due “of great legal complexity”.

Recruitment of “police assistants”

On the other hand, the proposals put forward in the aftermath of the Beauvau de la Sécurité, a vast consultation process launched in 2021 on the future of the police: creation of two hundred gendarmerie brigades and eleven units of mobile forces, or seven mobile gendarmerie squadrons and four additional republican security companies.

Most of the text should however concern the field of investigation, faced with a vocations crisis that an bronca aggravates within the judicial police, worried about losing its autonomy in a project to pool resources with public security. The basic training of peacekeepers and gendarmes will now include a training module which will make it possible to present the examination of a judicial police officer, before a possible assignment in an investigation service School-A possibility that leaves the police themselves doubtful themselves, given the complexification of the criminal procedure.
