Bonoua forms local security committee
A new committee aims to improve safety by involving residents in prevention efforts.
A local security committee was established in Bonoua on November 3, 2026, to boost public participation in preventing and managing safety issues. The initiative, led by the sub-prefect Kra Kouadio Maïzan, aims to adapt security measures to the town's needs and challenges.
This committee, chaired by the sub-prefect, extends the work of the Grand-Bassam departmental security committee. It includes the district police chief as vice-president, the Bonoua police station chief as secretary, and the local gendarmerie commander as vice-secretary, along with representatives from other security forces and community groups.
The committee's mission is to foster dialogue and cooperation between the public, authorities, and security forces to maintain public order and social peace. Initial discussions identified recurring crimes and sensitive areas, with strategies like awareness campaigns proposed, while operational interventions remain with security forces.
