How to reduce incivility in Mayenne? It is the theme of a new program of Place Publique, this Thursday, February 3, 2022 on France Bleu Mayenne at 6 p.m., live from Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne. Cigarette butts, masks, waste thrown on the ground, but also burglaries and personal violence. Has the feeling of insecurity grown in our department? Mayenne companies specializing in home surveillance systems answer in the affirmative.
Maurice Speranza, the manager of Espace Sécurité in Laval, has seen an increase in his order book for several years. “For about two years. Even at the start of the year, our orders are up by around 20%. Most customers want alarm systems but some also want to be reinforced at the mechanical level: armored doors, high security locks“explains this professional.
Crime would move to the countryside
He believes that the feeling of insecurity is growing in our department. In Mayenne, for example, according to figures from the Prefecture, the number of burglaries has been estimated at 900 on average each year since 2017. “Before, it was said that it was reserved for the big cities, but the delinquency is itinerant today. It is now developing in more medium-sized towns, in towns of 200, 300, 500 inhabitants. What interests a delinquent is to go quickly without making too much noise. And it’s true that often, in our countryside, unfortunately, I still see people who leave their doors totally open, the keys on their car” he finishes.
