Traveling in the Rhône this Thursday, Gérald Darmanin announced the creation of two witness districts in Rillieux-la-Pape and Villeurbanne to fight against drug trafficking, "which will result in additional staff in the police stations" and "a very strong presence of CRS ”, according to
Le Progrès
.
Questioned on the insecurity in Lyon, the Minister of the Interior declared that “we could do much better on the number of video protection cameras in Lyon.
I recommend to the mayor, whose competence it is, to go towards that ”.
A specific expectation at La Guillotière
The person, Grégory Doucet, replied at the beginning of the afternoon that the city was already sufficiently provided with cameras and that his requests related to additional police officers.
"Until proven otherwise, it is not the cameras that can catch delinquents," he replied on Radio Scoop.
A request he had already made in September 2020.
The Interior Ministry promised in the spring the deployment of 300 national police officers in the Rhône over three years.
Grégory Doucet insists, in a video from Le
Progrès
: "What matters to me, as the mayor of Lyon, is to know how many national police officers are going to be assigned to the city of Lyon?"
"Adding that he had" specifically "asked for an assignment to the 3rd arrondissement police station," so that there would be more staff on the Place Gabriel-Péri ".
