The DGSN also intends to strengthen and promote international security cooperation, through sharing its experience in the fight against terrorism and organized crime with friendly and partner countries, as well as with various international organizations dedicated to police work, according to the DGSN 2024 annual report.
At the top of DGSN’s list of structuring projects planned over the next year, which are currently in their final stages of completion, is the DGSN's central headquarters in Rabat to be inaugurated, a facility that will bring together all Directorates and services within an integrated platform taking into account the rationalization of human and financial resources intended for managing various DGSN services at central level.
Among the projects scheduled for inauguration next year is the International Police Training Center in Ifrane, which will serve as an advanced training institute for Moroccan security officers and their colleagues from the African continent.
Set up as a regional and international training hub, this future center will host training cycles and workshops organized by international partners, in favor of African and Moroccan police and security officers.
With a view to modernizing the qualification process for police human resources, the Royal Police Institute plans to establish a national database for basic, specialized and in-service police training programs over the next year.
This will be an interactive digital library (E-training), accessible and usable from all police training schools and National Security headquarters, with a view to connecting this IT platform to others dedicated to international training programs in favor of police personnel.
As part of the ongoing process of upgrading its forensic services, the DGSN is scheduled to set up six regional forensic laboratories in the police prefectures of Marrakech, Oujda, Fez, Agadir and Rabat, as well as six regional digital trace analysis laboratories in the police prefectures of Oujda, Agadir, Tangier, Meknes, Kénitra and Beni Mellal. These laboratories will be equipped with all the technological means and human resources needed to analyze digital evidence and use it in judicial investigations.
Concerning security preparations for hosting major sporting events, such as the 2025 African Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup, the DGSN envisions launching a series of projects and programs for professional qualification and upgrading of structure, including full adherence to the “Stadia” project, supervised by the International Criminal Police Organization “Interpol”, which aims to share experiences and promote achievements in the field of police services’ capacity building in relation to hosting major sporting events.
One of the structuring projects, also part of the preparations for organizing major sporting events, involves the ongoing upgrading of sports security services by providing logistical and operational resources, as well as qualified human resources.
This also includes the creation of new brigades and services, in particular dog police brigades in the cities of Agadir, Rabat, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech and Tangier, which will be hosting the 2030 World Cup games.
A new police training school will also be opened in Marrakech on January 11, 2025, to mark the Anniversary of the presentation of the Independence Manifesto, in line with the strategy adopted by the DGSN to promote police training centers, increase their intake capacity and develop training techniques and programs, in addition to proximity to trainees.
With regard to the digitization of National Security services and their connectivity to integrated security databases, the year 2025 will witness the transition to advanced digitization of command and coordination rooms and their connectivity to patrols and intervention units active on public roads. This will be particularly the case in the context of smart patrols (connected vehicles), as well as the use of artificial intelligence programs in the field of road traffic, with a view to DGSN’s implementation, over the next few years, of the smart and safe cities system.
Still on the subject of supporting local structures, the DGSN envisions building new police headquarters in line with citizens' expectations, including constructing the Agadir police prefecture’s headquarters and the central command and coordination post in the same city, as well as a new headquarters for the Khenifra provincial security district, and one for the Jorf El Melha regional police station.
Police facilities will also be reinforced with transport and logistical resources featuring a new visual identity, and equipped with the latest communication and intervention technologies.
In addition, the National Security's social services are further finalizing studies relating to the implementation of projects to build two summer camps in Harhoura and Moulay Bousselham for the benefit of the DGSN family, in anticipation of their construction.
Examination of the contractualization project for a new on-duty accident insurance program for police officers will be launched, to guarantee full coverage of hospitalization costs, should they suffer an occupational accident in the course of their duties to protect citizens.
In terms of security communication, the Directorate plans to hold the 6th edition of the DGSN Open Days in El Jadida next year, in line with the celebration of the 69th anniversary of the creation of the DGSN, as part of its approach to communicating with all citizens in different regions of the Kingdom.
