After the installation of an impressive number of surveillance cameras, even though the municipal police force is already the largest in France, and after the attempt to implement an app for informing, here come the arrival of dog handlers!
Instead of providing solutions to the daily concerns of the people of Nice, Christian Estrosi, once again, falls into the trap of overemphasizing security. This measure has already drawn widespread criticism from several police unions. A measure that will quickly prove to be both useless and costly.
This haste and posturing, in which Christian Estrosi is well-practiced, are more about maintaining a media presence against Eric Ciotti than addressing the city’s issues.
The people of Nice, who simultaneously face a high poverty rate (20%), an unemployment rate above the average, and difficulties in managing daily life (housing, cost of living, etc.), need something entirely different than these security antics.
