Morocco Launches Specialized Police Units to Combat Complex Crimes Nationwide

The establishment of these new units is part of the structural projects and programs planned in the DGSN’s action plan and likely to have a positive impact on the various aspects of security. It also plans to extend security coverage to all urban centers and strengthen the units fighting crime, reports the newspaper Al Ahdath Al Maghribia.

The members of these new brigades were selected for their skills in the field of investigation and their potential to support the intelligence services. These units will thus provide technical support to the investigations conducted by the judicial police services. They will be of crucial help in detecting new criminal methods, pursuing wanted persons and exploiting criminal information provided by information technologies.

And as great missions require great means, these units have been equipped with equipment and intervention vehicles compatible with the particular nature of the missions entrusted to them, mainly in the fight against crime, as well as the tracking of wanted persons and drug and drug trafficking networks.

The DGSN also plans to continue the implementation of anti-riot units within all mobile groups for maintaining order. It also intends to equip the judicial police and the general intelligence services with new equipment and intervention vehicles compatible with the nature of their missions.

In addition, regional laboratories will be created in Tangier, Marrakech, Oujda, Fez and Agadir, in order to ensure the speed and efficiency of scientific and technical expertise, in order to alleviate the pressure on the central laboratories of Rabat and Casablanca.
