This action plan is structured around nine axes
1. Strengthen the police presence in sensitive neighborhoods and thus support local staff.
2. Clean the common areas and visit all vacant housing in conjunction with social landlords in order to secure squatted apartments and recover any drugs and weapons that may be hidden there.
3. Identify squats through coordinated national police-municipal police action and identify squats which could be places of accommodation for people involved in trafficking.
4. Deport illegal aliens.
5. Think in conjunction with the town hall about strengthening public facilities, particularly the
video surveillance in strategic locations.
6. Control places where weapons and ammunition are sold.
7. Increase inter-service control operations by mobilizing all the services concerned, particularly in fast food establishments.
8. Identify individuals disturbing public order and who benefit from social assistance, particularly social housing.
9. Implement controls on peripheral traffic routes, particularly at the entrance to neighborhoods and at Saint-Nazaire station.
