François Le Mouël, then by inheritance.
François Le Mouël was an iconic French police officer, known for founding the Brigade de Recherche et d’Intervention (BRI) in 1964, later nicknamed “the Anti-Gang Brigade.” He joined the police force in the late 1940s and rose through the ranks to become one of the key architects of the modernization of investigative methods and the fight against organized crime. A visionary, he conceived the BRI as a flexible, responsive, and discreet elite unit capable of intervening rapidly in cases of crimes in progress and hostage situations.
His name remains associated with the professionalization of investigative work and the introduction of new tactics into the French judicial police. Respected by his peers and successors alike, François Le Mouël remains a major figure in contemporary police history.
