In terms of rationalization of expenses, the services of the National Security have recorded a stability in the consumption of water and electricity, despite the creation of many new police structures and the expansion of the use of computer equipment at the level of the directorates of the National Security. The telephone bill has also remained stable with a decrease in the maintenance of the vehicle fleet, although the central and decentralized services have received 991 vehicles during this year and the police fleet has been renewed to 73%, said the DGSN in its balance sheet for the year 2022.
On the other hand, an increase of about 23% was recorded at the central level and 43% at the decentralized level in terms of expenditure on fuel consumption, due to the significant increase in fuel prices on the world market, and because of the increase in the number of cars made available to regional security services over the past seven years, which amounted to 8,826 vehicles of various sizes and types.
As part of the completion of the digitization of public service security, with a positive impact on security performance, teams of engineers and technical DGSN have focused on the comprehensive modernization of telecommunications infrastructure of the police, with the start of the operation of the national network of digital communications through fiber optics, with a view to completing the process of complete renovation of communication devices available to the security services.
Efforts have also been made to develop several applications and information technology solutions to enable police officers to perform their missions in an optimal manner, the operation of generalization of the computer system of management of police districts (GESTARR) being completed, while work continues to integrate the computer system of management of emergency calls from citizens via line 19 in all command rooms, coordination and transport at national level.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of security interventions on the public highway and to strengthen the control mechanisms of the work of police patrols, a system of geographic location of police patrols is being generalized using the global positioning system (GPS), police vehicles and motorcycles have been equipped with 539 GPS automatically linked to the information system of steering security interventions, which will increase the speed and immediacy of response to calls from citizens, as part of the global and gradual generalization of this mechanism in the near future
In the field of security governance and modernization of the public police service, the year 2022 was marked by the adoption by the DGSN of a new visual identity, allowing to distinguish the fleet of security vehicles from the rest of vehicles and cars and facilitate the mission of maintaining the security of the Nation and citizens as well as the identification and contact by people who request assistance and intervention on the public highway.
This new visual identity, adopted in consultation with the field police services, is characterized by a visual and representative painting and specifications, with the logo of the National Security in red and green colors placed at the front and on the side doors of vehicles and new motorcycles, backed by the national flag and the number 19 for the reception of calls for help from citizens.
A distinction has been made in this new visual identity between the vehicles of the public safety and police rescue, which are white, and those of the regular intervention groups, which are blue. It is expected that this visual identity will be generalized to all vehicles entering service in the future.
On the other hand, construction work on the new headquarters of the DGSN is continuing on an area of 20 hectares in Rabat’s district of Riad, which is intended to be an integrated administrative complex housing all the central security services in a single location.
The second phase of this project, which includes connecting the buildings to the network of the various basic services, was started in 2022, in parallel with the launch of projects to build six new police headquarters, including those of the police prefecture of Oujda, the provincial districts of Security in Mediouna, Imzouren and Beni Bouayach, in addition to the headquarters of the integrated health center in Rabat, the police district of Tilila in Agadir, as well as the expansion of the Royal Institute of Police in Kenitra and the development of the headquarters of the second police district of the city of Taza, the headquarters of the provincial security district of the city of Témara and police stations in Martil and Assilah.
