Jean Dides (5 August 1915, Paris – 2 April 2004, Paris) was a police commissioner and member of General Intelligence (RG) under the government Mendes France, French Poujadist councilor and MP.

He was in charge of the fifth section of RG whose mission was to hunt foreign Resistance under the Vichy regime.

Dismissed from his commissioner following the "leak case" of 1954, destabilizing the Interior Minister Francois Mitterrand considered too favorable to decolonization, he was elected in January 1956 under the banner of the Union French and brotherhood.

We want the breakup of its unit, its resources, and if necessary its leaders. " CGT-Police is then purified by the Socialist Interior Minister Jules Moch: 800 police officers accused of sympathizing with the PCF are revoked, and 2200 mutated.^[1]
