“We are not reactivating this device to stigmatize the district, but rather to allow its 3,000 inhabitants to live there well, normally, in a more peaceful and serene way. » These are the words of Camille Miansoni, district Attorney from Brest who, in the premises of the court, rue Denver, announced this Tuesday, May 24, 2022, the launch of the Local Delinquency Treatment Group (GLTD) to Pontanezen.
By his side, Francois Cuillandremayor of Brest, Jean-Philippe Setbonsub-prefect, Nicolas HoarauCentral Commissioner of Police and Deputy Departmental Director for Public Security, George BellourManaging Director of Brest Métropole Habitat.
GLTD ?
So what is this GLTD? “A structure strictly judicial, on the initiative and at the hand of the public prosecutor, says Camille Miansoni. This device is intended to effectively coordinate during a determined time and in the defined perimeter an action of fight against crime around general and operational objectives. »
In this case, in Pontanezen, the GLTD will be active for seven months, until the end of 2022 and will aim to “dismantle the networks of drug trafficking orunderground economy identified, to tackle the problem ofoccupation of building hallss, to identify and deal with the springs of the phenomenon of vehicle fires observed in the neighborhood.
And Camille Miansoni to specify:
We want to individualize the legal response to ensure that troublemakers in the neighborhood are excluded. For this, with the partners, we will work on files, carry out precise investigations, inquiries, open procedures. I could also initiate it. For all this, complaints (from operators, residents, etc.) and the collection of information are necessary.
–The relay of the population
Divisional commissioner Nicolas Hoarau agrees: “We need the relay of the population to optimize the process, to enrich our investigations with the testimonies of the inhabitants. It’s not always easy for them to dare to take such a step. “We are well aware of this apprehension. But tools facilitate exchanges: the website moncommissariat.frl’application mobile My security. It is also possible to call 17 to report that you cannot go home because individuals are blocking the hall of the building. »
He adds: “We have gone up a notch in thehostility of some towards the forces of order, a belligerent expression which resulted in fireworks mortar fire, notably. Why ? Because we carry out actions in the neighborhoods and we disturb the delinquents: we will continue to do so to bring tranquility to the inhabitants. »
“A relevant measure”
François Cuillandre notes that after the tensions experienced last fall in the district, “the situation seems to have calmed down”. For him, “this type of measure (the GLTD) is relevant in Pontanezen, a compact neighborhood that lived closed in on itself and that we opened up by passing the tram through it. The criminals took a dim view of this political will because we were going to hinder them in their activities. Moreover, the first construction machines had been set on fire at the time. Our desire is to bring back a normal life in the district, essentially made up ofhabitat social, and to maintain our public services there. The majority of the inhabitants like it, want to stay there. We know that illicit trafficking exists, that halls are occupied, damage has been committed. A intolerable situation. It takes judicial responses. »
In real time
The mayor recalls that a GLTD had already been initiated in 2015 (until 2019) by the prosecutor at the time, Éric Mathais. With certain results. “But we don’t deal with this kind of problem once and for all,” notes Camille Miansoni. You have to constantly start over, maintain a permanent vigilance. »
And the Brest prosecutor concluded: “We have a arsenal of sanctions which range fromincarceration at thestay banr, to appear, to placement in specialized establishments. Every fortnight, I will bring together a small committee made up of the main partners in order to take stock of the procedures in progress, to evaluate the results in real time (how many complaints, investigations, where are they?). In seven months we will make a with. If we believe that the objectives have been met, we may lift the GLTD. If not, we can extend it. »
