The Police+ programme has renovated three police stations in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire to improve custody conditions, reception for victims and police procedures. The Franco-Congolese cooperation scheme, funded with support from the European Union, ended after 45 months and raised awareness among 2,831 police officers, reports Brazza-Infos.

The Police+ programme has rehabilitated three police stations in the Republic of the Congo, in the Tsiémé and Djoué districts of Brazzaville and in Pointe-Noire. The works reorganised workstations, secured custody areas and improved reception for victims of gender-based violence, according to Brazza-Infos.

The upgrades also provide for stronger cell monitoring and more private spaces for filing complaints and interviews. The programme, led by France and the Republic of the Congo with funding from the European Union, ended after 45 months and raised awareness among more than 2,831 police officers about ethics, professional conduct and fundamental rights, according to Brazza-Infos.

The end of the programme opens a phase focused on maintaining training, applying procedures and maintaining the premises. This stage comes after more than 2,831 police officers were trained by the Police+ programme, published on 29 October 2026.
