That is just about time..... Now I hope they speak English, which they did not in the the past. So unprofessional that policemen in a city like Nice, don't speak English...
100 more police officers on the beat in Nice
There will be 100 more police officers on the streets of Nice in time for the busy summer season. Mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi has also announced plans to place more patrols in the most exposed tourist areas, while opening hours of police stations around the city will be extended from 14.06.13.
This summer, the number of municipal police officers will increase from 280 to 380. “Today, I want to territorialise more and more police on the ground,” said Estrosi during a press conference on Thursday 13th June.
More than 225 officers will be deployed during the day and a maximum of 37 patrolling the city at night. According to the Municipal Police, the new measures will be in place “until the end of September at the earliest”, and that the regime would operate every day from 10.30am until 3.30am.
The strengthened police units include two vehicle patrols along the Promenade during the day and three at night, and one patrol in the pedestrian zone. There will also be an Urban Supervision Centre with 10 agents, which will be open 24 hours a day. The Municipal Police also announced the “reinforcement of a dissuasive presence in the principal tourist areas”, including Place Masséna, Cours Saleya and Vieux-Nice.
The opening hours of police stations will also be extended during the summer months. Cours Saleya Police Station will be open from 6am to 3am, while the station on Rue Gabriel Fauré will close at 8pm each evening. The station in Libération will remain open all day and all night.
Estrosi also announced a ban on the consumption of alcohol in public places from 8pm until 5am, stricter controls regarding the disembarkation of ferries in the port, and a push to have police in closer contact with residents, businesspeople and tourists.
Meanwhile, the mayor used the opportunity to welcome the new Director of the Municipal Police in Nice, describing Christophe Darmon as “the most suited person to direct this organisation.”
Around four million tourists visit Nice every year, many of whom come during the warm summer months. The city was also voted the second favourite French destination on TripAdvisor earlier this year, behind Paris.
