The National School of Higher Police at Cannes-Ecluse, in January 2020 (illustration) -

• Are future peacekeepers still in training at the police academy subject to a sort of point permit, sanctioning a simple withdrawal of criminal acts?

• This is what is indignant, photo of scale in support, Internet users and a police union on Facebook.

• The national police confirm the authenticity of this document at

  20 Minutes

  , while specifying the system of sanctions in force for student peacekeepers.

What do “insults to hierarchical superior”, “infringement of drug law” and “tortious violence” have in common?

All are, in the national police schools, of "breaches of ethics / duty of exemplarity", and expose to a deduction of points on the "note of behavior of the student peacekeepers", according to a document. circulating on social networks.

According to the Internet users who relayed it, this summary grid establishes the penalties incurred by future police officers in the event of "commission of an offense or a serious contravention", or "breach of the duty of discretion and the obligation to neutrality ”.

It would be displayed and in effect in the nine training centers for emerging peacekeepers.

“According to [this grid], a student who would have been tested on the road positive for alcohol and cannabis, would have hit his wife, called for jihad while insulting his hierarchical superior, would risk the withdrawal of 270 points on his behavior note!

It is also specified that in the event of a repeat offense, the number of points deducted would be multiplied by 2!

No it's not a joke!

It's plastered black and white on the school walls!

“, For example indignant, on its Facebook page, France Police – Policiers en angry, a minority union classified on the right, citing concrete examples to illustrate the categories of crimes mentioned in the document.

And this regulation would testify to an unacceptable "leniency" by the union, even more in view of the sanctions incurred by the students of the Nîmes police academy for having organized a party in full curfew, Wednesday October 28, which should soon to be excluded from the police academy, according to the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin. 

FAKE OFF

Contacted by

, the France Police – Policemen angry union specifies that it “believed in fake news” when it discovered this poster received from several “colleagues”.

But the document in question is authentic, as the Information and Communication Service of the National Police (Sicop) confirms: “This grid is displayed in the police academy.

"

For France Police, beyond the "double standards" with regard to the announced exclusion of students who defied health regulations by organizing a party during the curfew, the existence of such a procedure would testify to a more serious problem within the police institution: "The scale of the penalties provided for is derisory, since there is only one deduction of points on the behavior score - even if the grid specifies that they are provided for. in parallel with any separate disciplinary proceedings or possible criminal proceedings.

We do not see how a colleague who uses narcotics could complete his schooling and join our institution.

It is the same thing in the event of domestic violence, or of "breach of secularism".

"

However, in practice, this point system can have a real impact on the future of student peacekeepers within the police academy.

“Their training lasts eight months and is based on an 800-point scoring system, which encompasses both examinations and the evaluation of their behavior,” explains Sicop.

To complete the training, students must have at least the average.

They can lose up to 100 points for these shortcomings in behavior - and, conversely, gain 100 points if they demonstrate good behavior (empathy, exemplarity, meritorious acts ...).

"

A professional aptitude jury responsible for ruling on exclusions

This is moreover what the “guide for student peacekeepers in initial training” indicates in a less precise manner in its section dedicated to “control of training”: “Organized controls consist of verifying your knowledge. theoretical, your operational know-how and your physical and professional aptitude.

Your behavior is also evaluated throughout your schooling (exemplary nature, personal investment, teamwork).

This is an important data that can make the difference when it comes to your final ranking.

" 

Finally, the question of a possible exclusion of pupils is decided by the professional aptitude jury, as Sicop underlines: “It is he who decides whether or not the sanctions to be applied and a possible exclusion.

It pronounces as much on the shortcomings specific to the life of the school as on those committed outside the structure.

"

Among its prerogatives, this jury can effectively "authorize to participate in the choice of posts, [...] impose to repeat or end [the] schooling", further specifies the "guide of the student peacekeeper in training initial ".
