E. Martin / ANP / 20 Minutes
Security operations are carried out on an ad hoc basis, in addition to police missions, in the municipalities of the Côte d'Azur, from Friday 6 p.m. to Monday 6 a.m., that is to say, during partial and localized confinement.
After an hour and a half of patrolling in the Moulins district in Nice, 28 people were checked, eleven were fined for non-compliance with confinement, seven for not wearing a mask.
Third weekend of partial and localized containment, third weekend of special operations for the police.
In addition to “classic” missions, national and municipal police officers carry out ad hoc checks in all the confined municipalities of the Alpes-Maritimes.
Immersion report on Saturday evening in the Moulins district in Nice Ouest.
7:30 pm "The CRS reinforcements circulated throughout the day in the district," indicates Pascal, major of the night operation at the subdivisional police station of Nice West.
The message should have been understood.
With the new sanitary restrictions, the mobiles came in reinforcement.
Eight vehicles crisscross the city.
About fifty CRS stay until 8 p.m.
For tonight's operation, the workforce consists of 25 national police and five municipal officers.
Six people in civilian clothes from the Bac (anti-crime brigade) are also present to “blend in with the mass” and “catch red-handed”.
"We are no longer in the educational field but in the repressive"
7:45 pm Departure of the patrol on foot.
"Les Moulins is a district of republican reconquest", indicates Florence Gavello, functional divisional commander.
In other words, a "sensitive" district of Nice.
Pascal continues: “There are four essentially pedestrian axes.
We still have a van circling around, with heavy artillery, just in case ”.
Michel, another major, warns: “We must not stay under the lampposts.
As a general rule, when you are driving, in less than twenty minutes everyone is in the know.
But ultimately, if no one is on the streets, our mission is accomplished.
"
After ten minutes, two young men are checked.
One of them does not have a mask.
They also do not have a certificate.
"They go out to see their friends," said one of the police officers.
It will be a fine of 135 euros.
"After a year since the start of the first confinement, we are no longer in education but in repression," said Commander Gavello.
On the Place Amaryllis, in the heart of the district, everything is calm.
Only the noise of life in the apartments resonates between the towers.
The police were divided.
“The section knows the place perfectly,” says Florence Gavello.
They are used to this labyrinth.
A person arrives.
She turns around.
Another team is waiting for him on the other side of a building.
"I was just going to get my PlayStation controller", justified the man questioned.
“You are without a mask, without ID and you are outside when it is 8 pm.
You do not respect the rules in force, ”one of the police officers reminds him.
The offender tries to negotiate.
It won't last long.
“They all have a good excuse.
100% of the people we meet ask for a favor, ”says the police officer.
Twenty-eight people checked, eighteen verbalizations
In total, after an hour and a half of patrol, the entire workforce checked 28 people.
"We had a large device so it must have been a deterrent, it was fairly quiet tonight, estimates the major of the night operation.
Eleven verbalizations were issued for non-compliance with confinement and seven for not wearing a mask.
Afterwards, there were some who cumulated several offenses but only one was observed.
We are not there to verbalize, we want above all to raise awareness of the law.
"Michel concludes:" Finally, there are no more people who do not respect the instructions in this district than in the center of Nice ".
“The goal is to see that we are there to ensure everyone's peace and security.
If each citizen does their part, we will get out of this health crisis faster, ”adds Commander Gavello.
After this operation, “everyone resumes their activities,” she explains.
Some finish at 2 a.m.
The major is on duty until 6 a.m. ”.
This kind of joint operation will be carried out until the end of the partial confinement, that is to say, Monday 6 am ... but "it can be renewed from Friday 6 pm if the measures are extended".
