In the Grensleie police zone around Menen, they see a decrease in crime, even though it sometimes feels different. The last year by 9 percent, in 10 years even by 22%.
Now and then there are cross-border actions with Halluin and Neuville-en-Ferrain, says police chief Didier Vandecasteele: “The cooperation with the French has grown recently. Since last year we have been making efforts to set up cross-border actions and that has been reasonably successful. Good.”
“We work together with the Police Municipale and Police National,” says Vandecasteele. “With the Mouscron police zone and the federal authorities. In that context, combating crime seems to be working well.”
