The factual observations made during each control were sent to the brigadier commander of each of these units on 27  February 2009, 19th February 2009 and 19th March 2009, respectively. Responses were issued on 8th March 2009, 13th March 2009 and 3rd April 2009. The complete reports for each visit were sent for comment to the Minister of the Interior, Overseas Territories and Territorial Communities on 27th May 2009, 29th May 2009 and 8th June 2009. The Director-General of the Gendarmerie Nationale issued his response on 21st September 2009. Further to this procedure and in accordance with the law n°2007-1545 of 30th  October 2007, the Contrôleur général makes the following recommendations: 1/ Emphasis should be placed on the favourable impression left by these three territorial brigades and the concern for humanity shown by the members of the gendarmerie who we met. 2/ In the majority of the brigades, the belongings or valuables of individuals taken in custody are placed in envelopes without a list being established by both parties. A joint inventory register must be set up to ensure the traceability of objects deposited and picked up in order to offer a guarantee for both the investigators and persons placed in custody. The willingness of the Directorate General of the Gendarmerie Nationale to disseminate good practices in this respect within the Territorial Brigade of Chambray-les-Tours was noted. 17 Published in the Journal Officiel de la République française n°0053 of 4th March 2010, text n°95. 33
