INTERVIEW
The police unions were received Wednesday by the police chief of Paris. But, less than a week after the attack at the prefecture that killed four, the police remain deeply marked. "The atmosphere is suspicious.When the danger comes from within, and no longer from the outside, it is a real difficulty for us.We have to live with that," said Loïc Travers, National Secretary of the Alliance-Police National Union, Wednesday evening, on Europe 1. The attack at the prefecture was perpetrated by Mickael Harpon, a computer scientist who worked in the intelligence services of the police, killed by a fire of neutralization.
"We must act with discernment" to identify the signals of radicalization
The prefect of police has in particular passed new instructions, in order to better identify including signs of radicalization. "The instructions were reminded of us, including that of the confinement in the context of an attack.Very firm instructions were given, which are part of the fight against radicalism.It must be done with discretion but within the framework of an internal procedure, "said Loïc Travers.
"We have proposed partial anonymization to identify weak signals from colleagues who would be dangerous.The principle is yes to the identification of weak signals, but with a control, either of a specialized service or the hierarchy so that there is no drift.The person who would make slanderous denunciations would be accountable, "said the national secretary of the union Alliance-National Police.
