Census smudged by IGPN the shot went too fast – Liberation

The case is sensitive. In its edition dated April 8, World found that the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) – Police fonts – would create a statistical tool to recognize acts of police violence. Within the institution, it would be a first. In the ultra-tense context of school demonstrations, and more generally the police-population ratios, the announcement, that’s saying something, aroused many reactions. If the associations of human rights have obviously expressed their approval, police unions, which were not in the secret, have for some moderately appreciated.



“Stammering”

Le Monde based his information on an email sent the 1 st April the central departments of the police. The IGPN writes: “The decision was taken to create an identifying tool, by convention, serious injuries, serious injuries and deaths of individuals, which occurred during or after exercise missions of the national Police. “ This would be a tool that ” aims to establish transparency, “ and the data will be communicated externally. The form as it was imagined at this stage must include the location, date, context – terrorism, policing, rebellion – the weapon used and the more or less serious physical consequences

within the IGPN, leakage of the project in World was infuriated. “It was only a desired but fledgling initiative. We are only at the first working meeting, “ offended the director of IGPN, Marie-France-Monéger Guyomarc’h. According to her, “Inspection does not intend to speak statistiser police violence, but wants to develop a tool to understand and analyze the cases of use of force.”

“Beating”

clearly, IGPN not publish each year the number of police killings as many group seem to have understood. “It is up to the justice to say whether violence was legitimate, estimated Marie-France-Monéger Guyomarc’h. Even if we would have that intent, judicial decisions fall sometimes years after the fact and our tables would be biased. Our approach rather belongs to the feedback and changes in our internal practices, which is the role of an inspection. “ For proof, IGPN indicates that ” his tool does not differentiate an indisputable beatings and the elimination of a terrorist in action. ” And this to “to combat the idea too generally held that serious or serious injury or death, are synonymous with illegitimacy of the use of force or weapons.”

on March 14, Action by Christians for the abolition of torture published a report entitled “the order and strength.” It was based on 89 cases of injuries by police officers between 2005 and 2015. Following the revelations of World the NGOs expressed the need to go further, inviting IGPN “to annually publish data TSUA file [for treatment relating to the monitoring and the use of arms], which lists the number of use of each weapon by national Police officers.”
