Regarding the situation of crack users, the subject of tension between the town hall of Paris and Laurent Nuñez’s predecessor, Didier Lallement, Gérald Darmanin announces that he has asked the new prefect to “propose solutions for the start of the school year to fight this scourge definitively”. . “I asked Ofast (the Anti-Narcotics Office) to take up this problem energetically, this undoubtedly requires greater solidarity between local authorities and the State. We have to stop throw the ball away,” he insisted.
On the maintenance of order, the minister announced the creation in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, in Val-de-Marne, of a training and training center “for the police headquarters. Gérald Darmanin also defended the reform which provides for a departmentalization of the police force, strongly criticized by the judicial police and the magistrates. “We have given ourselves the year 2023 to carry out this reform, which was wanted by all the successive Ministers of the Interior since (Pierre) Joxe!”, he pleaded.
“70,000 refusals of residence permits for foreigners for reasons of disorder” for 2 years
For him, we need “a single chief of police in the departments instead of three currently”. “Should this put an end to the judicial police, to the existence of antennas, central offices, which are intradepartmental, even intraregional”, he continued, “the answer is no”. “The departmental director must be able to coordinate all the means”, explained Gérald Darmanin, “but the future national director of the judicial police will be responsible for the entire investigation process, from taking a complaint to the police station to processing the organized crime”.
On the issue of delinquent foreigners, the Minister was delighted that “over the past two years, 70,000 foreigners’ residence permits have been refused for reasons of disorder, and 2,500 residence permits have been withdrawn from cause of a court conviction”.
