French authorities have tabled adding ‘Green Police’ to the ranks of the Gendarmerie.
The Brussels Times relayed how French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin plans to ‘have gendarmes (police officers) trained in attacks on ecology in each Gendarmerie brigade’.
Darmanin called it, ‘a revolution’.
The green gendarme’s primary purpose will be to ‘fight against damage to the environment’.
He told French journal du Dimanche the aim for 3,000 new ‘Green Police’ was to ‘improve the work of judicial investigation’.
