Tulard created the first census of members of the French Communist Party (PCF), for the Prefecture of Police under the Third Republic (1871–1940).

Following a Nazi ordinance dated 21 September 1940, which forced Jews in

André Tulard was a diligent civil servant educated in the law. Cooperating with German officials, he oversaw the development of a registry for Jews at the Paris municipal police headquarters in fall 1940. More than 110 people, mostly women, created the cards—blue for French-born Jews and orange for the more vulnerable foreign-born Jews—and pulled the cards identifying Jews to be rounded up for deportation "to the East".^[citation needed]

At the end of the war, French authorities suspended Tulard, but he was reinstated, perhaps helped by a petition stating that he was "never antisemitic."^{[citation needed]}
