In its 2024 report, DGSN said that as part of this strategy, it focused on strengthening crime-fighting structures, developing scientific and technical police laboratories, and systematically using criminal intelligence and technical support mechanisms in criminal investigations.

It also stressed its commitment to enshrining the human rights dimension in the police function. In a bid to bolster mechanisms for combating cybercrime and cyber-terrorism, DGSN experts developed, in 2024, the interactive “E-Blagh” platform, which went live on June 3. This platform aims to involve citizens in the prevention and reporting of criminal threats and terrorist risks on the Internet.

The year was also marked by the implementation of several institutional partnerships aimed at perfecting criminal investigation techniques and adapting them to the human rights system.

This includes the framework partnership agreement signed with the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), which covers training for law enforcement officers in police custody facilities.

Similarly, a joint plan was drawn up to consolidate the ongoing training of judicial police officers, in collaboration with the Presidency of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Royal Gendarmerie Command.

This year has also seen the implementation of recommendations relating to the respect of human rights in security action, with the organization of a total of 3,537 training sessions over the last five years, and the distribution of 710 memos to enable police officers to appropriate the culture of human rights, humanize the conditions of police custody and highlight best practices in law enforcement. 

As part of strengthening anti-crime structures, the number of anti-gang units was increased to 26 specialized brigades distributed across the national territory. 

These units were equipped with alternative weapons, including the TASER-7 electric stun gun, 104 all-terrain vehicles, 720 motorcycles of various capacities, and uniforms suitable for all types of interventions. They were also equipped with 60 specialized dogs trained to detect explosives, weapons, narcotics, banknotes, and locate corpses.

Regarding crime-fighting statistics, a total of 755,541 criminal cases were recorded, a slight increase compared to the 738,748 cases registered in 2023. However, violent crimes directly impacting citizens' sense of security saw a significant 10% decrease.

Thus, cases of aggravated theft decreased by 24%, vehicle thefts by 20%, violent thefts by 12%, and burglaries by 10%. Similarly, sexual assaults dropped by 4%, drug-related cases by 7%, and thefts targeting bank agencies by 45%.

In parallel, the crime resolution rate reached a record level of 95%, reflecting the continuous progress achieved over the past eight years. Qualitative analysis shows that violent crimes remained at their minimal level of 7% of recorded criminal cases, totaling 49,838 incidents. This led to the arrest of 29,959 individuals, including 10,720 who were wanted persons.

Additionally, police services dismantled 947 criminal gangs specializing in aggravated thefts, leading to the arrest of 1,561 individuals involved in these acts. Furthermore, 119 vehicles and 75 motorcycles used in these criminal activities were seized.

Regarding narcotics, a 7% decrease was recorded, with 92,346 cases processed and 119,692 individuals arrested, including 287 foreign nationals. Seizures included 123 metric tons and 971 kg of cannabis resin, 1.948 metric tons of cocaine, 16.53 kg of heroin, and 1,429,052 psychotropic substances, including 773,493 ecstasy tablets.

Two attempts to traffic medications containing internationally controlled narcotic substances were thwarted, resulting in the seizure of 704,000 bottles containing illicit substances. These shipments originated from Asia and were destined for Sub-Saharan Africa.

Finally, a significant decrease of 47% in cases related to the drug known as "L’Boufa" and a 52% reduction in the number of individuals involved were recorded, despite a 58% increase in the quantities seized, attributed to enhanced border controls. A total of 8.331 kg of "L’Boufa" was seized in 2024.
