The village wants to hire police Mennecy
When resources are lacking, we must have ideas. With its tight budget, Echarcon, 700, did not have the money to establish a municipal police force. Never mind, the village has partnered with its neighbor, Mennecy so that it sends its own police force. There remains only the green light from the prefecture and the prosecution for this "pooling" - a first in Essonne - is effective.
Robert Coquidé, the mayor (no label) of Echarcon, took out his calculator. A municipal police officer costs between 35000 € and 40000 € per year. There's the salary, but expenses, equipment, uniforms, training ... Not to mention that for such a service is running properly, it takes several agents. "We can not afford," jumped the mayor, who nevertheless would sometimes need police. "Most of the time, a policeman bored, said Robert Coquidé. But sometimes there are small problems that put young people like loud music in their car. "
The project approved by city councils
Today Mennecy proposes to" pool "with his police Echarcon. The two municipalities have already approved the project in the City Council. Cons € 21,000 per year, Echarcon benefit from a patrol car with two officers for an hour on average each day. In case of hard knocks or large events, the village could count on more police. "It is not against the police, but in agreement with it. The police can not always be there, "says Echarcon. A
Mennecy, where there are 9 officers to 13,600 inhabitants, the municipality UMP sees only advantages to the project. "Our priority is not to diminish the benefit for the people of Mennecy recalls Roman Bossard, the deputy security. But this gathering, we will recover the money going to hire, invest in new equipment ... "The agreement still allows the exchange of information. "Crime is shifting and inter," said Romain Bossard.
The case was filed in the prefecture of Essonne and the prosecutor of the tribunal d'Evry before the holidays. It only needs their signatures to the pooling into place. And it could spread. Mennecy has already proposed this solution to other neighboring villages Ormoy, Fontenay-le-Vicomte and Chevannes.
