we followed a police patrol in charge of the holiday tranquility operation

Like every summer for more than 10 years, theOperation Tranquility Holidays allows you to report your absence to the police and thus see your home protected from burglaries. The novelty this year is an application that allows the brigadiers to know in good time where to go. To benefit from this service, simply indicate your residence on servicepublic.fr or by going to the nearest police station.

A digital map of homes to watch

Jean-Noël Brua is police commissioner, head of the right bank division. His men control this summer a hundred residences in various neighborhoods of Toulouse. Everything is made easier thanks to this application:

Field police have access to digital mapping of vacant homes to monitor from their mobile phones”

The commissioner clarifies:they come by regularly to check that everything is going well, this increases the visible police presence and further deters thieves, on the houses indicated by this device there are very rarely burglaries.”

This holiday tranquility device exists both in police area what about gendarmerie areaand is valid for both houses only for the apartments. In Toulouse, several hundred burglaries are committed each year during vacation time. Residential areas are particularly targeted.
