I Am the Crown Prince in France

After Joseph flipped through the documents at the back, he realized that these more than 180 police officers had not received enough salary for four months.

The city hall contributes 20% of their salary, and the chamber of commerce contributes the remaining 80%. The chamber of commerce often fails to raise enough money because merchants do not cooperate, so the police officers’ salaries will be reduced.

Joseph frowned and shook his head. There were 60 people in charge of a large area with 80,000 people, but they were still unpaid... No wonder there were 28 murders in a month. It’s no wonder that at the beginning of the French Revolution, when a large number of citizens went to Les Invalides to grab muskets, no one stopped them at all.

Everything is people-oriented, and it seems that the top priority is to solve the manpower problem.

Joseph pondered for a long time, recalling various advanced police concepts of later generations one by one, and wrote another four or five pages to outline the framework for rectifying the police force, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He put down his pen, glanced at the first item he wrote, "Reorganize the Civilian Patrol Team," and called the Assistant Police Commissioner Bono, and ordered:

"Please call all police and civilian patrol teams in St. Anthony District to gather here tomorrow morning."

The latter was startled when he heard this: "Your Highness, you mean, everyone?"

"That's right, everyone. I will ask Viscount Guizot to transfer people from other districts to help patrol, so you don't have to worry."

"yes."

Joseph turned to Emman and said, "Please send someone to get twenty thousand livres from my private property."

…

When the sun rose again, nearly 400 police and civilian patrol teams had gathered in the empty field in front of the Paris Police Station, standing in two untidy square formations.

Although they had been told that they would meet the Crown Prince, their current boss, today, when they saw the handsome young man in a red double-breasted uniform and a three-cornered hat on the wooden platform in front of them, they still couldn't control their hearts. The ground was filled with tension and shock.

At 9 o'clock, with the sound of military drums, Joseph raised his hand to signal and said loudly:

"Good morning, gentlemen. I don't like to talk nonsense. I only have three messages in total. Please listen carefully."

Although his voice sounded immature, he was full of aura: "First, from now on, all civilian patrol teams in St. Anthony District will be integrated into the police department and become official police. Of course, those who don't want to come will not be forced to do so."

The people from the civilian patrol team went crazy!

You know, it costs 500 livres to buy a police job. With just one word from the Crown Prince, they all become official police officers? !

In Paris, although the reputation of the police is not very good, it is a government position with status and status! They have organized themselves to protect themselves. They never dreamed of becoming policemen before. This is like a step to the top!

Joseph signaled everyone to be quiet and continued: "Second, everyone will be evaluated later. The content includes moral character, physical strength and professional ability. Based on the score, you will be awarded the police rank. Oh, it is similar to the military rank, divided into police officers. Each level has three levels: police officer, superintendent, and sergeant. As the police rank increases in the future, the salary will also increase accordingly.

"The monthly salary of a police officer starting from the probationary period is 18 livres. The salaries of the first to third-level police officers are 22, 25, and 30 livres respectively. The salary of the superintendent starts from 40 livres."

He pointed to several wooden boxes next to him: "Here are 20,000 livres. After your police rank is assessed, you will receive this month's salary. From now on, your salary will be paid here in cash, and there will be no arrears for a day."

The pot is frying again! 30 livres is close to the income of a city hall official, and 22 livres is enough to make a living, but I still found money! The salary of the Paris police was only 16 livres before, and they were often deducted, so they could only get less than half.

Everyone's eyes were shining, which was the light reflected by the silver coins.

You have to fight hard for the evaluation! If you can be rated as a third-level police officer, you will have to work hard for at least ten years, no, twenty years!

As for those with big bellies, they looked at their figures and became anxious in their hearts.

"Third," Joseph's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, "In the future, a performance appraisal system will be implemented. It will be assessed on a monthly basis based on indicators such as the crime detection rate, the number of police dispatches, and the number of complaints. If you do well, you will be given bonuses, if you do not do well, you will be punished. Salary. The promotion of police rank and position will also be based on assessment results."

He looked around at everyone present: "I've finished my words, I believe everyone agrees.

"Now, everyone starts reorganization and evaluation on the spot. The reorganization work must be completed within 10 days!"

"Yes!" The audience immediately roared to the sky.

The members of the former civilian patrol team all turned red with excitement, their hands trembled, and shouts of "Long live the Crown Prince" kept coming and going.

They never expected that with an unexpected gathering today, their fate would change dramatically. It is foreseeable that my life will be full of hope in the future!

The Crown Prince has become like a savior in their hearts, and his whole body is exuding divine light. Hundreds of people secretly vowed to do their best to repay the Crown Prince's great kindness!

Immediately, several of the crown prince's guards ran over, each ordered dozens of police officers, and led the entire team away.

These measures of Joseph's were commonplace in later generations, but in the eighteenth century, they were definitely the most advanced concepts - unified staffing, job subdivision, performance appraisal, and more talents, all of which were disruptive improvements.

According to the original historical trajectory, it was not until decades later that the majestic Napoleon began to reform the police force. What he did was not even half of what Joseph did, but he had already become a model for the entire Europe to learn from.

Two days later, the residents of the St. Anthony district noticed a lot of new things.

A wooden box with a slit on the top is hung at the intersection of every street. The words "Police Complaint Box" are painted large on it, and there are small words next to it: All dissatisfaction with the police can be directed to Write it down and submit it here, and the Police Commissioner will personally review and handle it. The processing results will be announced immediately.

In areas where many people gather, a large number of wooden frames are being built. According to the carpenters, these are the security booths required by the police department. In the future, police will be on standby inside to support patrolling police at any time.
