Imane Chehaibou, a nurse from Seine-Saint-Denis, in Villiers-Le-Bel (Val d’Oise), where she lives, on July 31, 2024.
“Something happened this time”“The nurse whispered, giving the policewoman a big smile. Imane Chehaibou holds her breath every time she approaches a police checkpoint in her black Smart. The 25-year-old young woman, who works from home near the Olympic facilities in Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis), has a professional daily life seriously complicated by the Olympics and the Games. Since its opening on July 26, traveling within its intervention area, which consists of 93 suburbs surrounding the city, has become a real headache.

“These are orders”
The next little patient is located in the center of the secure perimeter of Carrefour Pleyel. The journey to the destination takes approximately ten minutes and has five control stations. “It depends on the situation and the police officer on duty. Some let me through without verification, others asked me to provide documentation of medical appointments. That’s a bit far-fetched! The only thing I could show them was my GPS, so They can see that the address I want to go to is in the red zone »”, explains Imane Chehaibou. The paramedic said that on Tuesday, July 30, an officer refused to let her move around the area and she had to take a 40-minute detour: “No matter how I explained that I had a little patient, several months old, waiting for me to feed him, I was told ‘these are the orders’. »
