With just over two months to go before the start of the Olympic Games, the ability of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee (Cojop) to mobilize sufficient private security agents at the various event sites remains a matter of concern. Because if the management of Paris 2024 repeats that it has awarded 98% of the contracts, this does not mean, however, that it has the assurance of having the same proportion of staff that it will need this summer – 20,000 on average per day, with peaks at 22,000.
Wednesday May 8, Marc Guillaume, the prefect of the Ile-de-France region, gave an idea of the road that remains to be covered: at this stage, ” more than half “ awarded companies “are 100% of their recruitment”he explained at the microphone of TF1.
Mid-April, in an interview with Mondethe Minister of Sports and JOPs, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, declared that there was “still need 8,000 to 9,000 recruitments”. She recalled that, “to secure recruitment”the State has initiated a plan to support the private security sector by setting up, through France Travail, a program to canvass job seekers – but also students –, with specific training as a key to security professions.
Nationally, 20,000 recruitments planned
“We have more than 20,000 people in training and 12,000 have been hired”underlined Marc Guillaume. “There’s still a little bit missing, we have seventy-nine days lefthe added. We will be on time ». In mid-April, Ms. Oudéa-Castéra explained that the training and recruitment objectives had been revised upwards in order to anticipate possible no showthat is to say the failure to present security agents at their workplace: 28,000 training entries and 20,000 recruitments are planned nationally.
Faced with Cojop’s difficulties in ensuring that it will have adequate staff, the government has not ruled out taking control. In particular on the part of securing the opening ceremony which is theoretically the responsibility of the organizers. In mid-April, a scenario was raised according to which police and gendarmes would replace private security agents on the lower quays of the Seine, where 104,000 of the 326,000 spectators are expected along the 6 kilometers of river parade on July 26.
