In Clermont-Ferrand, two shootings within three months highlight a growing climate of violence, exacerbated by drug trafficking. Police interventions surged by 11.4% in 2024, with procedures more than doubling. Mayor Olivier Bianchi, facing criticism, advocates for increased collaboration between municipal and national forces, proposing a new police station if reelected. He aims to establish a force of 150 municipal officers by 2032, with 7-day weekly shifts starting January 2026. Opposition candidate Julien Bony argues Bianchi’s announcements are insufficient, emphasizing the need for more substantial action to combat rising insecurity.
