Feeling safe in one's neighborhood, on the way to school, returning from work, or during a night out should never be a privilege. It is a fundamental right and a legitimate expectation of every citizen. However, many Brussels residents today express growing concern about incivilities, nuisances, and delinquency that affect their daily lives.
A city where one feels safe is a city where one lives better. Security is one of the essential missions of public authorities and must remain an absolute priority in Brussels. I advocate for a balanced approach: more presence on the ground, a determined fight against incivilities, and reactive public action at the service of residents.
Areas of work
Community policing
A visible and accessible presence on the ground: neighborhood police officers, community teams, and agents in public spaces prevent problematic behaviors and strengthen trust with residents.
Zero tolerance for incivilities
Vandalism, illegal dumping, repeated nuisances, street harassment: incivilities should never be trivialized. A firm, rapid, and consistent response is essential to prevent minor infractions from leading to more serious problems.
Coordination and prevention
Better coordination between police zones, municipal services, prevention actors, and judicial authorities. Targeted use of technologies (video surveillance, smart lighting) with strict respect for individual freedoms, complementing prevention and education.
