In a significant move to bolster road safety, French and Monegasque law enforcement agencies collaborated in a joint operation at the bustling Saint-Roman roundabout on Tuesday, August 6. This strategic location, which serves as a nexus connecting Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Monaco, and Beausoleil, witnessed a well-coordinated initiative featuring personnel from the municipal police of Menton, Roquebrune, Beausoleil, the French national police, and Monaco’s Public Safety Department.
The operation was a direct response to the alarming road safety statistics reported in the Alpes-Maritimes department, which has seen 27 fatalities since the year's start. This collaborative effort highlights the critical role of cross-border cooperation in addressing the persistent challenges of road crime and enhancing public safety, especially during high-profile events such as the Monaco Grand Prix.
Commissioner Yannick Dupin, who was present at the operation, stressed the importance of continued partnership between the neighboring states, pointing out that road crime knows no borders and tackling such issues demands collective action. This initiative is part of an ongoing commitment by French and Monegasque authorities to maintain a robust, unified law enforcement presence that effectively deters offenses and safeguards all road users in the region.
