Cop: man or woman job?

Cop: man or woman job?

Cop, man or woman job? The extract of the report tries to answer this question through the portraits Françoise TEYCHENEY, police captain and Christelle LEBRAS, peacekeeper. At the police station of Champigny sur Marne, there is a discussion between the police lieutenant Luc MESSIER and Captain TEYCHENEY: "When a woman is pregnant she is absent, it is a problem" says Luc MESSIER. "They are not pregnant every year!" answers Françoise TEYCHENEY. The new generation of police officers seems more open with the look of Laurent RAYNAUD, police brigadier who works under the authority of Françoise TEYCHENEY: "For me it does not cause me problems... It’s a generation story". Filmed in a police van at night, Christelle evokes her relations with her male colleagues: "The old slogan was "the police a profession of men". "I never felt any difficulties... but after the interventions of the little jokes but the colleagues accept us well anyway". During a night control operation with RATP agents, interview with Hervé VIGUIE who recognizes qualities to his female colleagues: "In the fields they are sometimes thinner than some men. For physical abilities, they are of equal value. When you are between men, you are always a little "Gallic".
