police municipale

Municipal police refer to police officers employed by municipalities in France, responsible for security and maintaining local public order. Currently, the term is in vogue following the adoption in committee of the National Assembly of a text aimed at strengthening and broadening their powers of verbalization. This bill would allow municipal agents to sanction more crimes, such as the use of narcotics or street vending. This development is part of a broader debate on the distribution of skills between national and local law enforcement.
