A violent clash during a protest in Lausanne has prompted the cantonal police of the Canton of Vaud to adopt new strategies inspired by Zurich’s dialogue team approach, aiming to ensure peaceful demonstrations. The incident occurred during a feminist women's strike on June 13, 2026, which drew thousands of participants to the streets of Lausanne. The police feared that opponents of the summit, scheduled for later that month in Evian-les-Bains, might disrupt the demonstration and even target law enforcement. This concern led to heightened vigilance among officers, who had previously faced tensions during similar protests. In recent months, Lausanne has witnessed incidents of violence during public gatherings. Notably, youth protests following the deaths of two individuals during police operations last year resulted in confrontations with authorities. During these events, the Vaud police initially used loudspeakers to calm crowds, but quickly resorted to water cannons and tear gas, escalating the situation. Such actions have damaged public trust in the police force, prompting a shift toward more cooperative methods. To address this challenge, the Vaud police have begun implementing the dialogue strategy developed by Zurich’s city police. This method emphasizes communication over confrontation, aiming to explain police actions directly to demonstrators. On the day of the feminist strike, representatives from Zurich’s police department were present alongside their Vaud counterparts, marking a collaborative effort. According to Domenico Ceroli, a member of Zurich’s dialogue team, initial skepticism arose among locals regarding the role of Zurich-based officers in Lausanne. However, once the purpose of the team became clear, curiosity grew among the demonstrators. Ceroli explained that the dialogue approach involves answering questions, providing information, and explaining the rationale behind police interventions. He emphasized the importance of transparency in maintaining order while respecting the rights of protesters. His colleague, Lieutenant Yvan Bovard of the Vaud police, echoed this sentiment, noting that the goal was to deescalate situations before they turned volatile. Bovard stressed that the police must clearly communicate when they will resort to force, ensuring that the public understands the circumstances under which such measures are necessary. The collaboration between the two police forces has been described as beneficial. Despite language barriers, both teams found common ground through shared objectives, ensuring that demonstrations remain peaceful. Bovard praised the initiative, calling it a valuable addition to their policing practices. He noted that the experience in Lausanne has reinforced the effectiveness of dialogue-based approaches, particularly in managing large-scale public events. The feminist strike in Lausanne concluded without major disruptions, thanks in part to the combined efforts of the Vaud and Zurich police. Positive feedback from participants confirmed that the presence of the Zurich team contributed to a more constructive atmosphere. Bovard plans to take his newly acquired insights to Zurich, where he will assist in monitoring the annual street parade, a traditional event attracting many attendees from the French-speaking regions of Switzerland. Zurich’s police department has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the operation. Ceroli highlighted the unique nature of the experience, noting that while such interactions are routine in Zurich, the opportunity to apply them in the French-speaking part of Switzerland was rare. He believes that this exchange could inspire further cooperation between police departments in the western part of the country. As the region continues to explore ways to enhance community relations, the success of this joint effort may serve as a model for future initiatives.
