Prescilla Gazon, social worker by training, has just taken up the position of social worker in the gendarmerie. Its role is to assess and support the social needs of victims and respondents. For example, in a case of domestic violence, she will explain the rights to the victim, she will accompany him in filing a complaint and in the various steps to follow.
In Saint-Martin, social and family distress is important. "We are confronted with it on a daily basis and often for lack of time we cannot orient people", explains lieutenant-colonel Sébastien Manzoni commanding the gendarmerie company of Saint-Martin. “The social worker is thus a support for the gendarmes. She will be fully associated with our services and will support us as much as possible, ”he adds.
The establishment of this position is part of the City Contract signed in December 2015 by the State and the Community. It is supported by the association Dangerous Liaisons, funded by the State and the COM and accommodated at the gendarmerie barracks in Savane. An agreement between the four parties was thus signed Tuesday morning for a period of one year. (More details on www.soualigapost.com)
