PARIS, July 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Around 110,000 law enforcement officers
will be deployed across France as the country celebrates the national

“Everything is being done so the French can live these festive moments
with peace of mind, despite the terrorist threat which remains at a high
level,” Collomb said during a press conference.
