Everything has been thought of to better accommodate curious people who want to contact the police: “Nancy residents don't necessarily come to the police station to see us, so we chose to go and meet them in the different neighborhoods of Nancy“, explains Frederic Alves, Head of the Nancy Municipal Police Department and Head of the Urban Liaison Brigade.
