High Commissioner Implements Exceptional Policing Measures in New Caledonia

On September 3, 2026, the High Commissioner of New Caledonia issued an order implementing exceptional policing measures across the territory. This directive is part of a series of administrative actions aimed at addressing specific security concerns and enhancing public safety.

The exceptional measures include increased patrols, enhanced surveillance, and the deployment of additional resources to areas identified as high-risk. These actions are intended to prevent potential disturbances and ensure the well-being of residents.

In conjunction with these measures, the government has also authorized the use of aerial surveillance through the deployment of cameras on aircraft.
