He is “determined to restore public order”. The new prefect delegate for defense and security, Antoine Guérin, took office on Monday in the Rhône, with an installation ceremony at the Loyasse cemetery (Lyon 5e ) then a first trip to Tonkin, in Villeurbanne, at the end of the afternoon.
He displayed his “priorities”: “the fight against illegal immigration, removing foreign delinquents”, the “fight against drug trafficking which generates a lot of violence and is a bit like the mother of all trafficking”, improving “everyday safety”.
A specialized field brigade in Tonkin
Antoine Guérin confirmed the arrival of a specialized field brigade, made up of police officers dedicated to the expanded Tonkin sector, “quickly”, “before the end of the year”. “All the conditions are met.”
This neighborhood was marked by a shooting murder on the evening of October 31. “Using drugs is not trivial, not recreational. Drugs are violence and it goes as far as murder,” reacted the new prefect.
