“Now you will recognize her as your guide, you will have to obey whatever she asks of you …” Very solemn ceremony, Wednesday morning, in the square of the prefecture of Metz. Several dozen officials, mostly police officers ready to brave the rain (which will finally fall shortly after the ceremony), witness the inauguration of their new leader.
“The profession is becoming more feminized, it is representative of society”
This is also unprecedented: Isabelle Sire-Ferry becomes the first departmental director of public safety in the Moselle. Obviously, a feeling of “pride” animates whoever becomes the central commissioner of Metz at the same time.
Installed on November 9 by the Central Director of Public Security (Célia Berthon) and the Zonal Director of Public Security East (Annie Bregal), Isabelle Sire-Ferry has been in office since October 15. “I’m taking my vows”, she blows her at the edge of the glass of friendship under the protective roof of the prefecture. Before adding her with a smile: “The national police are becoming more and more feminized and more and more women take responsibility there. It is representative of the company. In the 1960s it was said: “The police, a man’s job”. It amuses me today. “
Here she is now in charge of the department’s 1,200 police officers. She comes from Nancy where she studied law before passing the external competition for police commissioner, the graduate she already knows the Moselle. And this, for having worked as an area manager in charge of recruiting and training. It was 2019. “My mission was to promote the profession among young people”, smiles those who succeed Michele Klein retired.
“Playing and entering is one of our priorities”
The new boss will continue the road map drawn up by the Minister of the Interior and above all imposed by the concerns of the moment. The treatment of domestic violence of course, but also the fight against the phenomenon of urban rodeos. “Ringing the bell and entering is also one of our priorities. Thefts have not increased but it is still a matter of serial delinquency, habitual offenders. And we must not forget that we are in a border area: we are a transit department, with its share of traffic of all kinds … “
“With cybercrime the crime of embezzlement has progressed”
Isabelle Sire-Ferry, 52, will then quickly show off her new stripes as central commissioner. Especially since you also see a new form of facts and misdeeds emerging. We are talking about cybercrime here. Alongside the sexual predators of the web appears a new species of individuals with dark intentions: the 2.0 scammers who use cryptocurrency as bait. Let’s not forget the cyber attacks on the image ransomware. “Some of our police officers are trained, to varying degrees, in cybercrime because this crime of embezzlement has progressed. “
The new department manager, his men, his women have not finished tracking down criminals and criminals on all fronts.
