### Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the National Police

The commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the National Police emphasizes the institution’s unwavering commitment to protecting the homeland and its citizens, as well as its persistent fight against various forms of crime.

Since its establishment on May 16, 1956, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has continually evolved to keep pace with security transformations, adopting a proactive approach and strengthening its presence on the ground.

#### A Strategy for Modernization and Digital Transformation

The DGSN is following a modernization strategy focused on digital transition, the use of new technologies, and the enhancement of operational capacities.

This transformation is accompanied by investments in infrastructure, security equipment, and human resources to strengthen the overall effectiveness of the national security apparatus.

#### Training, Accessibility, and New Public Services

As part of this dynamic, a new police academy was inaugurated in Marrakech in 2025, with another similar establishment planned for Casablanca.

Moreover, efforts have been intensified to bring services closer to citizens, particularly through the widespread issuance of electronic national identity cards and the modernization of administrative services.

#### Digitization of Security and Improving Performance

The digitization of accident reports has been widespread, enabling quicker processing of cases and better use of statistical data for road safety policies.

The DGSN is also focused on implementing its 2022-2026 crime-fighting strategy by strengthening forensic laboratories and investigative tools.

#### Security and Crime Results

Statistics from 2025 indicate that there were 779,008 recorded cases, showing overall stability in the number of incidents, while violent crimes decreased by 10%, reflecting an improvement in the sense of security.

#### International Recognition of the Moroccan Security Model

The organization of Interpol’s 93rd General Assembly in Morocco illustrates the international recognition of the Moroccan security model and the trust placed in the Kingdom’s institutions.

#### Community Policing and a New Philosophy of Action

The DGSN is pursuing an approach centered on community policing, communication with citizens, and the modernization of working methods.

This vision places citizens at the heart of security efforts, promoting a public service that is more open, responsive, and transparent.
