Monaco crime rate drops by 6%
The successes were attributed to the ever-rising number of CCTV cameras installed across the Principality, currently totaling 600, as well as an increased police presence on the streets.
Meanwhile in Monaco... "business as usual"....

This should have been done YEARS ago. Finally they understood that something needed to be done...
Muslim protester sentenced to citizenship course
The court of Nice has issued a 10-month citizenship course to one of the protestors against last weekend’s ‘anti-Islamophobia’ march. The ruling comes as the mayor implements his first measure in a recent pact to better instill the moral and civic values of the Republic in the community.
The demonstrator, a 26-year-old woman, appeared before the criminal court of Nice yesterday, Tuesday 20th February. According to Nice Matin, the prosecution had requested a suspended prison sentence of two months but the court sentenced the woman to a 10-month citizenship course instead.
Four others who had taken part in the protest also appeared in court yesterday charged with obstructing traffic, advocating terrorism, and protesting without authorisation. They were granted more time to prepare their defence and will stand trial on 18th February. The demonstration against ‘anti-Islamophobia’ caused chaos last Sunday, 18th January, when the protesters took to the streets in the area surrounding Place Massena without permission, disrupting traffic and the tramline.
The 40 demonstrators could be seen waving banners and chanting ‘Allahu Ahkbar’ – or ‘God is the greatest’ – before police officers arrived at the scene to disperse the crowds, making around 10 arrests. Mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi later called the unauthorised protest “intolerable and appalling”.
The sentencing comes just two days after a municipal council meeting during which Estrosi announced new initiatives in the areas of safety, prevention and education to raise awareness of the values of the Republic to Nice schoolchildren. And it seems that action has already been taken, with the first civic education workshop scheduled for this week. The workshop will take place at 3.45pm on Thursday, 22nd January at Jules Ferry Primary School, 3 rue Jeanne Jugan, Nice.
Members of the community are encouraged to attend, alongside parents and partners of the school.

BREAKING NEWS
NICE- An attacker with a knife hidden in his bag attacked three soldiers on an anti-terror patrol in front of a Jewish community center in southern France on Tuesday, two police officials said.
Sarah Baron, a police union official in the city of Nice, said the attacker was detained after the attack near the Galeries Lafayette department store. Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said the attacker had an identity card with the name Moussa Coulibaly.
The surname, which is relatively common for families of Malian descent, is the same as that of the man who seized hostages in a kosher supermarket in Paris and gunned down a policewoman last month.
Another police official said the attacker pulled a knife at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) long out of a bag and set upon one of the soldiers, injuring him in the chin. He then swiped two other soldiers — one in the cheek, the other in the forearm — before being apprehended by riot police stationed near the building, which houses the city's Jewish community center.
A manager at the center, who did not want to be identified because she was afraid, confirmed soldiers posted in front of the building were attacked. She said it happened around lunchtime and no one was inside the office.
The attacker, aged about 30, had a record of theft and violence, the official said on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. His motive was not yet clear, the official added.
Mayor Estrosi told BFM television that a possible accomplice had been detained.
France has been on high alert since the attacks in the Paris region by three Islamic extremists that left 20 people dead, including the gunmen. More than 10,000 soldiers have been deployed around the country to protect sensitive locations, including major shopping areas, synagogues, mosques and transit hubs.
Earlier Tuesday, French authorities arrested seven men and a woman suspected of involvement in a network to send fighters to join Islamic extremists in Syria.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said those arrested in the Paris and Lyon areas are not suspected of links to the Jan. 7-9 attacks.
Police are trying to thwart new violence and find possible accomplices to three radical Islamic gunmen who attacked a kosher grocery and newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The men claimed allegiance to extremists in the Mideast.
Three of those arrested Tuesday had traveled to Syria and returned in December 2014, a French official said, though it was unclear whether they joined the Islamic State group or another group.
The network began sending French fighters to Syria in May 2013, and at least one of them was killed there, the official said. Other members of the network are still in Syria.
The group did not appear to be involved in any particular plot, or linked to any other networks already broken up in France in recent months, said the official, who was not authorized to be publicly identified discussing security matters.
France has seen hundreds of homegrown radicals join extremists abroad, most linked to the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
Cazeneuve said recent atrocities by the Islamic State group — including the killing of a Japanese hostage — "only strengthen the government's determination to fight terrorism every day and every hour."
French authorities have come under criticism for being overzealous in cracking down on potential threats since the attacks, arresting dozens for comments seen as defending terrorism and notably questioning an 8-year-old boy.
