The new CRS unit (CRS N°83) settles in Chassieu
As announced last summer by Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, the new CRS unit (CRS N°83) is moving to Chassieu in the Lyon metropolitan area.
It will be operational from November 24.
Made up of 200 civil servants, CRS N°83 has a number of specific features: immediate availability and real-time intervention. The company's aim is to provide high-intensity policing, such as in the event of urban violence, and to intervene in crisis situations of all kinds, with rapid deployment (10 minutes).
These civil servants have been recruited internally to create a special unit: the CRS 83, specialized in urban violence and the fight against drug trafficking.
Disorganizing opponents, getting them to give up, making arrests: training is rigorous and highly technical.
Civil servants learn to work in cohesion and autonomy. It's a complex mechanism for a group of several dozen individuals. They have to rehearse many times to ensure maximum safety and efficiency in the field.
The unit will be mobile throughout France
While each police officer in the unit is trained in first aid, eight of them are specialized in first aid. Their mission: to extract the injured, bring them to safety, and perform first aid.
Essential training, as the CRS can also intervene in the event of a terrorist attack.
This unit numbers 170 police officers.
In the rest of France, two other new-generation CRSs are currently being trained, in Marseille and Nantes.
