It is a great first which is likely to give ideas to others. Now in the South of the Oisepeople in police custody may use a teleconsultation terminal if they ask to see a doctor. “It is law n ° 2023-1059 of orientation and programming of the Ministry of Justice dated November 20, 2023 which introduced the possibility of a medical teleconsultation in the event of extension of police custody,” recalls Loïc Abial, the prosecutor of the Republic of Senlis.
This terminal rather than emergencies
This Thursday, February 20, an agreement in this direction was therefore signed by Lieutenant-Colonel Julie Parent, who commands the company of gendarmerie de Senlis, and the prosecutor. “It seemed interesting to us to set up this teleconsultation because, currently, outside the opening hours of themedico-judicial unit (UMJ) of Creil, investigators from the gendarmerie company of Senlis, of the gendarmerie company of Whipped cream and the police station of Creil Go to the emergency room of the public hospital group in the south of the Oise (GHPSO), in Creil, for the realization of these medical examinations, ”underlines Julie Parent. And Creil emergencies, as we know, are often very very very congested, teleconsultation can allow respect for the legal framework, obviously – to save time to everyone!
“You should know, in fact, that the investigators have three hours to complete the necessary diligence for the medical consultation of the police guard who formulates the request,” says Loïc Abril.
Operational from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This teleconsultation terminal was installed in the premises of the Senlis gendarmerie company. It is accessible every day, from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm. The defendant has with this terminal of all the apparatus necessary for taking tensiontemperature or pulse. But, above all, this installation makes it possible to get in touch with a doctor, approved by the Ministry of Justice …
If this device is probably a great first, in France, it is first owed to Guillaume Breugnot, the former commander of the gendarmerie company of Senlis, and to Jean-Baptiste Bladier, the former prosecutor of Senlis. “They worked in favor of this project, underline their successors. We have only completed the steps taken and made their project to make. ”
A significant “more”
The fact remains that the south of the Oise now has a significant little “more” when you know that last year, for example, 1934 people were placed in police custody in the south of the Oise : 729 for the Creil police station, 594 for the gendarmerie company of Senlis and 611 for that of Chantilly. In the majority of cases, these police custodys were extended and 30% of those convicted asked to see a doctor …
Do not compete with pharmacies
That said, everyone will not be able to benefit from this device. Miners and protected adults are excluded from the outset. Just like pregnant women or violent people. “In all cases, the person concerned will have to give us his agreement,” concludes the prosecutor.
Note that gendarmes and police are authorized to use this terminal. But in only in some cases, very specific. It is not a question, in particular, of competing with pharmacies which have a cabin almost identical to that which now has the gendarmerie company of Senlis.
