New french police website launched

FRANCE HAS CREATED A SINGLE WEBSITE THROUGH WHICH ALL DEALINGS WITH FRENCH POLICE OR GENDARMES CAN GO A new website is aiming to simplify dealings with police. Online processes related to

both the police and gendarmerie, from filing a complaint to getting advice, now go through masecurite.interieur.gouv.fr. You can use the online platform to signal offences, including, but

not limited to: * domestic, sexual or sexist violence * illegal ‘rodeos’ (motorbike racing or tricks on public roads) * credit card fraud * discrimination * drug traffic-related offences *

cyberbullying This follows the launch of the Ma Sécurité mobile app in March last year, and replaces the website moncommissariat.fr, a consequence of increased collaboration between police

and gendarmes. The website also has practical pages, explaining concepts such as the _main courante_ (a way of asking the police to take note of a situation but without filing a formal

complaint), and when to call the 17 police emergency number. Both the website and the app include a chat function, through which police officers and gendarmes are available 24/7 to answer

questions. By entering your location into the website, you can also receive security updates for your area, and locate the nearest police station. RELATED ARTICLES BURGLARIES, VIOLENCE, SEX
