These new officers, totaling 9,493 across various ranks, are expected to enhance the overall police workforce after completing training periods ranging from six months to a maximum of two years.

In its 2024 report, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) stated that six external competitions were held this year to recruit 6,523 police officers. These positions were distributed between 46 Principal Police Commissioners, 90 Police Commissioners, 400 Police Officers, 50 Peace Officers, 2,500 Police Inspectors, and 3,437 Peacekeepers.

Candidates applied for these positions via a publicly accessible online portal. The announcements for these competitions were widely disseminated through television channels, modern communication platforms, and several national newspapers to ensure equal opportunity for all candidates and to reach as many applicants as possible.

These recruitment competitions attracted more than 93,415 male and female candidates to sit for the written examinations for the National Security competitions, held across 221 examination centers across Morocco. Specifically, 49,062 candidates participated in the written exams for Peacekeeper positions, 21,448 for Police Inspector positions, 14,447 for Police Officer positions, 1,254 for Peace Officer positions, and 7,204 for Police Commissioner positions. This demonstrates the growing interest among Moroccan youth in the police profession, which is committed to the noble and fundamental goal of serving the nation and its citizens.

Additionally, 13,248 police officers benefited from professional police training programs this year. Among them, 72% participated in basic training courses for new recruits in the ranks of the National Security, approximately 17% benefited from continuous training courses, and around 3% underwent specialized training in various police fields.

To strengthen the human resources of the police with skilled personnel and qualified cadres who are graduates of the Royal Police Institute and its affiliated schools in Laayoune, Oujda, Fez, and Tangier, this year has been marked by the assignment of 4,893 police officers to various central and regional services of the National Security Directorate. These include 7 senior police commissioners, who are highly qualified professionals such as engineers, doctors, and PhD holders in various scientific fields, along with 80 police commissioners, 255 police officers, 45 peace officers, 1,744 police inspectors, and 2,762 peacekeepers.

The assignment of these new recruits to the National Security Directorate was based on precise criteria aimed at covering urban areas. This was done in line with a vision that considers the evolving security infrastructure and the needs of citizens, prioritizing cities experiencing rapid urbanization.

In this context, 554 police officers, both men and women, were assigned to the police prefecture of Laayoune, 382 to Rabat, 368 to Casablanca, 296 to the regional security office of Al Hoceima, and 246 to the regional security office of Ouarzazate, among other cities.

Furthermore, throughout 2024, the National Security Directorate focused on strengthening functional incentives through an integrated approach that prioritizes the well-being of police officers. 

This approach includes implementing various mechanisms for professional incentives and support, as well as creating a healthy work environment that guarantees job security.

In this regard, the year was highlighted by the announcement of annual promotions for the 2023 fiscal year, benefiting a total of 7,513 police officers of different ranks, including 280 women. The percentage of eligible candidates who received promotions stood at 66.02%, comprising 4,810 uniformed officers and 2,703 plainclothes officers.

The DGSN also upheld the "annual regularity" in reviewing and announcing promotion files. The advancement commission recently completed the examination of 15,452 candidates for grade promotions for the current year, with the results expected to be announced as usual at the end of the year. Additionally, the DGSN paid special attention to officers in lower and intermediate grades to ensure they benefit from promotions, which are among the most significant incentive measures.

Similarly, the DGSN continued implementing its plan to bring officers closer to their social and familial environments, approving 7,780 transfer requests, including 2,892 urgent cases based on social, health, or family reunification reasons.

Moreover, 5,194 officers were granted hearings under the "Request for Hearings" framework, which is guaranteed to all personnel. Additionally, 2,502 officers benefited from the right to legal defense and support under the principle of "State Protection," which is guaranteed by law for security personnel who face physical or verbal assaults while performing their duties.

In adherence to the principle of professional equity, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has focused this year on strengthening the mechanisms for handling administrative grievances under the purview of the Central Grievance Commission. This commission, established in December 2018, is tasked with reviewing grievances and requests for professional leniency, formulating recommendations and observations aimed at reconciling the interests of the employee and public service.

This year, the commission received a total of 328 administrative grievances and issued 363 recommendations, resulting in the revision or cancellation of 32% of disciplinary measures and the approval of 60% of the sanctions and measures implemented.

The year 2024 marked a radical transformation in the operation and role of the grievance mechanism under the Central Grievance Commission. It evolved from a body focused solely on arbitration between police officers and professional disciplinary mechanisms to a proactive force for governance in managing police officers’ professional lives. 

Based on the findings of grievance case studies, the commission now contributes to implementing alternative solutions and best practices aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of the DGSN's human resource management system while ensuring a balance between the effective functioning of police services and the protection of police personnel.

In terms of moralization, the corrective mechanism for sanctioning professional misconduct by police officers—whether committed during their duties or in violation of their obligations to discretion, integrity, and probity—handled 7,374 administrative cases in 2024. This led to 1,263 disciplinary sanctions, a 50% reduction compared to 2023, reflecting positive progress in promoting professionalism and adherence to workplace regulations and ethics among police ranks.

Furthermore, inspection commissions under the National Security authority conducted 492 administrative investigations in 2024, including 112 initiated based on complaints, which were handled with the required rigor.

These investigations, involving 1,746 personnel, included thorough reviews of alleged dysfunctions attributed to National Security services and personnel, as well as surveillance and audits of various aspects of police operations.

As a result, 22 investigations uncovered evidence of actions contrary to criminal law. These cases were referred to judicial police services to notify the competent public prosecutors and request the opening of judicial investigations.

Regarding social support for active and retired police officers and their beneficiaries, the Mohammed VI Foundation for Social Works of National Security Personnel provided direct assistance in the form of financial and in-kind subsidies. These benefits were extended to 1,610 members who suffered serious injuries in the line of duty or were afflicted with severe illnesses, with their cases processed under an expedited procedure.

Direct financial aid and vouchers were also distributed during religious holidays to 4,351 widows and 601 retired police officers from the National Security family who receive limited monthly pensions.

Exceptional assistance has also been granted to 371 police officers or their relatives suffering from serious illnesses. This measure aims to help them cope with the high cost of medical treatment, receiving a grant of 20,000 dirhams.

The year 2024 also saw an expansion in the beneficiaries of the pilgrimage program. Pilgrimage expenses were covered for 365 members of the National Security and Territorial Surveillance corps, including full coverage for 230 individuals and partial coverage for 135 others, compared to 127 beneficiaries in the previous year..

Additionally, a total of 3,582 children and orphans of police officers participated in summer vacation camps held in Agadir, Bouznika, Ifrane, and Tetouan. For the first time, the Mohammed VI Foundation organized summer camps for 57 families of police officers fallen on duty at summer centers in Bouznika and Chefchaouen. Moreover, the construction of a summer center in Martil for the National Security family has been initiated.

As part of its support for academic excellence among the children of members of the Foundation, this year saw the organization of the second edition of the Excellence Ceremony, highlighted by the granting of stable and sustainable scholarships to the children and orphans of police officers who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance. A scholarship of 10,000 dirhams, spanning five years of higher education, was awarded to 12 students, with the aim of periodically expanding the program to reach 60 beneficiaries per year in the near future. Additionally, awards were given to 109 students who achieved high grades in their baccalaureate exams.

In addition to the annual academic excellence scholarships, the Mohammed VI Foundation for Social Works of National Security Employees launched a new partnership program in 2024 with several higher education institutions. This initiative aims to facilitate access for the children and orphans of police officers who excel academically to these institutions. The agreements include scholarships and tuition fee reductions of up to 50% at certain private institutes.

This year's Excellence Ceremony also paid tribute to police officers who stood out in artistic and sporting competitions organized by the Foundation. Financial awards were given to the winners of the plastic creativity contest, which saw the participation of 47 officers, exhibiting 87 artworks selected by a committee from the Ministry of Culture.

In addition, in support of social initiatives, the Mohammed VI Foundation for Social Works of National Security Employees has signed partnership and cooperation agreements with insurance companies, clinics and national businesses, aimed at giving police officers and their dependents access to health and commercial services at preferential rates, including a partnership agreement covering reduced-cost access to services offered by the three main telecommunications operators. These partnerships are in addition to those signed in recent years, enabling the DGSN family to benefit from commercial, health and insurance services at preferential rates.

In support of the values of institutional communication with its members, the  Mohammed VI Foundation for Social Works of National Security Employees has launched an electronic services portal “www.fmsn.gov.ma,” designed in Arabic and French, offering a complete and up-to-date overview of the Foundation's activities and the full range of services available to the DGSN family.

With regard to other basic health services, the National Security Health Services Inspectorate has been working over the past year on a step-by-step action plan titled “Santé 2026” (Health 2026), which includes a new vision for managing security health services, based on support for proactive and preventive initiatives, the activation of health control operations, and the diversification of basic and specialized medical services for police officers.

During this year, 172,478 medical consultations and interventions were carried out for police officers, including 64,618 with general practitioners, 44,646 with occupational practitioners, 7,297 with specialists, 18,159 dental treatments and 5,435 psychological support appointments.

Similarly, the DGSN helped replenish the national blood supply by launching several voluntary donation campaigns, in which some 8,502 police officers took part.

In addition, the DGSN's health services carried out 1,422 medical check-ups in safe rooms and locations holding minors under judicial investigation.
