School protection officers

Ensuring public peace and quiet is one of the town's priorities. Particularly when it comes to schoolchildren and their families. One of the responses to this expectation is the introduction of "school protection officers".

A calming role

In conjunction with municipal police officers and highway patrol officers, school protection officers have their own responsibilities. They carry them out in the morning, from 7:45 to 8:45, and in the afternoon, from 4:15 to 5:45, with their appropriate equipment: chasuble, "STOP" sign, whistle.

  • They signal vehicles to stop in front of protected crossings,
  • They position themselves on the protected crossing to accompany schoolchildren and parents as they cross,
  • More generally, they contribute to the friendly atmosphere of this special moment: school entry and exit.
