Indeed, the risk of British returnees (British men and women who have left to fight alongside DAESH/ISIS in Syria and Iraq and who have returned to British soil) is high. The risk that they will continue the ideological struggle in their place of birth is very likely.

In addition, the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel MACRON, has set up an "anti-terrorist task force": the National Counter-Terrorism Center (CNCT). This is a permanent counter-terrorism staff of about fifty people, directly attached to the Head of State and involving the Ministries of the Interior, Transport, Defense and Health. It provides recommendations to be implemented in less than half an hour to act immediately, throughout France, in the face of an imminent threat.
France also has a system called "Etat de Siège" (Level of Siege).
It can only be implemented on a part of the territory, after deliberation of the Council of Ministers and with a presidential signature when there is an imminent danger due to an armed insurrection or war on its territory. During a level of siege, there is a transfer of powers from the civil authorities to the military authorities.
The extension of a state of siege beyond 12 days is subject to parliamentary authorization.
This level of Siege has never yet taken place.
However, France has prepared military Special Forces of the COS to intervene in case of shootings in cities as linked below:
