Bordeaux: are there really more municipal police officers on the streets since the arrival of environmentalists? The opposition group Renouveau Bordeaux highlights a drop in numbers between 2021 and 2022, citing figures from the Ministry of the Interior. The town hall explains that it is in reality a simple entry error.
The municipal police, however, are not there to “replace the national police, which have a role of maintaining order and securing property and people”, recalls the elected official.
