I went into a gendarmerie station in the south of France to report a stolen camera.
The officer behind the desk offered me and my mate a bottle of beer each from a fridge under the counter, and joined us in drinking one whilst he took the report.
Very civilised.

There were 5 Gendarmes at the bar drinking a beer each, then they went out on Autoroute patrol.
Good. We all need a break. And if there is any group of people I want to have a civilized, relaxed lunch and a glass of wine/beer before the afternoon shift it is the Police, and especially the Riot Police. They do a difficult, stressfull, and sometimes dangerous job. The last thing we need is for them to be stressed out and de-humanized.Guam said:

Safety record was abysmal (Quelle surprise). French equivalent of the Health and Safety guru at the factory, persuaded the management to ban the Alcohol.
Result was predictable instant walkout extended strike action. Management caved everyone went back to work HS "Expert" redeployed
