Tourist Police Patrol : Security in the Champs-Élysées and Notting Hill | GEDEON DOC
#patrol #paris #london
Paris and London are some of the largest European capital cities—two major economic and tourist hubs attracting visitors from around the world. The diversity of cultures, however, also brings all kinds of disputes. That’s why patrols are on the lookout!
In Paris, the Champs-Élysées is a melting pot of rich and poor, beggars and thieves. To combat the crimes committed there, a special squad called the BST (Brigade Spécialisée de Terrain) has been created.
In London, in the district of Notting Hill, communities often don’t mix. When they do, scenes of violence can increase. During the day, local police forces ensure the safety of residents and stay close to them. At night, the atmosphere becomes more electric, and a special unit called the TSG (The Security Group)** wages war against Notting Hill gangs.
