A new tool to protect victims of domestic violence in Saint-Martin

0

The first TGD was delivered last Monday. A TGD is a serious danger phone. It is handed over by the prosecutor to a victim of domestic violence. This device allows victims to call an emergency number very quickly and request help in the event of danger.

The TGD is an ordinary programmed telephone: at the push of a button, the victim is put in contact with operators of a platform based in France, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. is 24 seconds.

The operators are trained and speak French, English and Spanish. They examine the situation described by the caller and send the police if necessary. The TGD is also equipped with a detector which allows it to be geolocated. The Saint-Martin gendarmerie services are in contact with the platform and are therefore able to intervene.

As of November 5, 1 TGDs had been deployed in France. Guadeloupe recently received its own. The jurisdiction of Basse-Terre has been provided with ten aircraft, four of which are reserved for the territory of Saint-Martin. For the moment, the detached prosecution has two. The TGD are allocated in consultation with the local association for victim assistance, Trait d'Union, which identifies the needs. The devices are loaned for a renewable six-month period.
