In response to residents' concerns, the Municipality of Saint-Mandé has established a reinforced security plan, including additional personnel and preventive actions, to ensure public safety this Saturday.

The Town Hall of Saint-Mandé has detailed the measures being taken to ensure everyone's safety, following concerns expressed by residents. Mayor Julien Weil is in constant contact with the Vincennes Police Commissioner, the Municipal Police, and state authorities.
Significant reinforcements from national security forces are anticipated. A public order management system, comparable to that used at Place de la Nation, will be implemented at the Porte de Vincennes, involving riot police (CRS) and national police units. Saint-Mandé's Municipal Police will also be fully engaged in prevention, enhanced surveillance, and public space security, coordinating with national forces.
Since Friday, municipal technical teams have been removing or securing tools and materials that could pose a danger. Companies working on construction sites have also been mobilized, and local shopkeepers have received prevention guidelines, including securing outdoor seating and increased vigilance.
As a precautionary measure, municipal public parks and gardens, cemeteries, and the public library will be closed from 2 PM on Saturday. These closures are intended to protect users and staff.
While there are currently no specific threats anticipated in Saint-Mandé, the proximity of a gathering necessitates enhanced mobilization and vigilance. The town thanks all municipal agents and security forces involved and advises residents to avoid the areas around Porte de Vincennes if possible. The situation is being monitored in real-time.
