The city of Nantes announced on Monday its own recruitment competition to fill the ranks of its municipal police force. This has not happened since 1991.

The municipality is offering additional competition to that of the departmental management center to recruit more quickly the hundred agents who are still missing. “We need some good guys (sic)! Today there are only 130 agents, including 90 in the field, out of the 235 police officers that we are supposed to be able to field in 2026,” says Force Ouvrière delegate within Nantes municipal police.
