The text includes, in particular, additional police personnel with the creation of 11 mobile force units and 200 new gendarmerie brigades to allow “the doubling of the police presence on the ground” from here in 2030, as President Emmanuel wishes Macron.

Consultations between rural elected officials and prefects are due to take place in September to decide the location of the future gendarmerie brigades, the first of which is due to see the light of day in early 2023.

Of the force’s 11 mobile units, six will remain “permanently” in Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Perpignan, Nice and Marseille – where two are already positioned – Gérald Darmanin told JDD in late August.
