France is so smart, saving money with no aircons and using foreign police

The last time German police patrolled France was in 1940s

I got surprised when hearing a voice narrating SCMP

First time I've seen police on Montmartre. Finally. But I guess its just because of the Olympic games and it will return to normal where it's flooded by violent scammers with no policeman in sight after the Olympics.

Maybe this is surprising in other parts of the World different than Europe.
We in Spain have Brits, France, German, Dutch police officers every summer patrolling with our Police.
It happens for more than 10 years if am not wrong.

In all important sporting events: European Cup or World Cup football, rugby and Olympic Games there is the presence of foreign police .. Very useful for foreign citizens to have police officers from their countries .

China is so generous with so much foresight ... that it has already set up community police offices in France before the Olympics :)

...and it's brought to you by a Hong Kong news outlet. Love the international cooperation and positive attitude here. That's what humanity should be all about.

Probably most of the foreign police officers (and tourists) have a better command of the English language than the French police!

A certain country must be delighted to see this as a precedence.

[johnthe]

It's a great idea to have foreign police support 🖖

Thailand does the same thing during tourist season.

Brazilian police are badass. They aren't afraid to respond to criminals with force.

Brasil representando na Olimpiadas 🎉‼️💯🇧🇷

In 2010 for Vancouvers winter Olympics we spent $1 billion on security alone.

Only the EU Cops have guns in France. Other police forces outside of the EU do not have guns in France

Was just in Paris, didn't see any foreign officers (where I went) but a large national police and gendarmerie prescnece. I felt safe
