Overview
- Herblay-sur-Seine and Franconville say they have each hired one municipal officer from Saint-Denis, with local reporting pointing to more transfer requests under way.
- Mayor Bally Bagayoko clarified that officers will not carry LBDs — rubber-ball launchers used in crowd control — on patrol and will retrieve them from cars only if needed.
- He said agents keep their 9 mm pistols and electric shock devices, and they will not wear a weapon for every assignment.
- The mayor reports one confirmed departure and three transfer requests so far, and says the city has received about a dozen job applications.
- He also pledges to maintain a force of 135 municipal officers and keep the current network of video-surveillance cameras, arguing LBD use was already rare.
