The attack on the Champs road showed that every uniformed officer withsafety vest is a target, "exclaimed Nathalie Kosciusko-Morisot, president of the LR group at the Paris council. Faced with this observation, his political group wants to change the arming of security inspectors of the city of Paris (ISVP), and will make a wish in this direction to the Council of Paris which begins this Tuesday.
On April 21, about a hundred striking security inspectors had gathered in the forecourt of the town hall to demand an "evolution of their armaments." At the call of the CFTC and the " UCP (Union of Paris executives), the aim of this movement was to demand "at least initially a non-lethal weapon" for the more than 1,000 municipal agents responsible for combating the "incivilities" of everyday life. At present, they are equipped with a tonal and a tear-gas bomb "when the terrorists are equipped with weapon of war", note Les Republicans.
The NKM has been in favor of a "municipal police force" for several years, and is demanding that the security inspectors be able "without distinction to wear a reflective vest", that "all STSIs benefit from a Non - lethal weapon, defense bullet - thrower (LBD) or electric pulse gun ". Finally, the LR Group hopes that the SVP "volunteers will be trained and equipped with lethal weapons". Some political groups remain opposed to this development.
"It would be a disturbing rise in rank," says David Billiard, co-chair of the Paris Ecologist Group (GEP). On the side of the municipal executive, we do not comment on this wish but we recall the work in progress on the issue.
"We are not closed to the question of reinforcement of the armament to improve the mission of the agents", it is remembered to the city hall. After the strike of the agents, a delegation of agents was received in the office of the mayor who wear safety jacket. One administrator was commissioned to study rapidly the conditions for possible endowments of lethal or non-lethal weapons.
"We will work with the officers to assess the needs in terms of their missions. We want them to do their job under the best conditions, "then told AFP Colombes Brussels, security assistant to the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, recalling that the officers had already been equipped with bulletproof vests for example.
