City Council June 28, 2010.
Before the summer campaign of Minister of Interior and the reproaches of the Industry Minister, Mr Mayor of Avon decided in June to reinforce the staff of the municipal police (30% over budget security).
The objective was simple: to have a municipal police on Saturday and enlarge the time slot on weekdays from 8 to 20h. This was presented as an application "self" of Avon in search of safety. For this, it is proposed that officers work each week 3 days at 12h/jour.
We are skeptical about the organization of working time: after 7 hours, the employee is no longer productive, the last 5 hours are present in the office. Two breaks of 20 minutes are provided, they will not eat a meal enough. The additional cost for the city is 90 000 € / year (the annual amount of operating grant awarded to the association AMC that manages the music school and its 200 small pupils). Inefficiency, financial skid is the same type of decision that we condemn in the management of approximately the municipality.
What mission do you give to the municipal police? We love our officers. We see them regularly go into town on their scooters: they lay in folds councilors, they act as usher, they frame events, patrolling and providing community policing, they talk with people of all problems several of the city. In summer, they can at your request, check no one broke into your house. Avon is a large village consisting of six villages, the police are the keeper of our community.
Should they ask for more? No. It would be dangerous to risk their lives in operations management of banditry. They are not armed, they are not trained, they are not framed for complex missions. Maintaining public order is the responsibility of the national police, we do not improvise Police Anti Crime Brigade.
We were there a few months, participating in a neighborhood to chat with the locals. They have confessed that they had not seen a alderman for five years. The best prevention is to be present everywhere, not to let the desperation move.
prevention and repression, a balance must be found in our city.
