The implementation of the crack plan in Paris

Set up in Paris between 2019 and 2021, the crack plan aims to address the problem of the use of a hard and cheap drug, derived from cocaine, whose trafficking has been rooted in north-east Paris since the 1990s. This mechanism was born from the common desire of a group of actors to coordinate their actions to combat the increase and concentration of drug addicts in the 18th, 19th and 20th arrondissements: the prefecture of the Île-de-France region, the police prefecture of Paris, the Interministerial Mission to Combat Drugs and Addictional Conduct (MILDECA), the Regional Health Agency (ARS), the City and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Paris are among the signatories of the protocol implemented over the past three years. The flash audit published today by the Court of Auditors, and conducted by the Regional Chamber of Accounts (CRC) of Ile-de-France, is the result of a targeted and rapid survey which made it possible to take an initial review of the implementation of this policy and to consider possible avenues for improvement.
