Morocco places its cities under high surveillance

It is an unprecedented end of the year that the Kingdom is about to experience. The coincidence of New Year’s Eve with the organization of the 2025 CAN imposes increased vigilance. The police prefectures are in turmoil. Under the direct supervision of the police walis, strategic meetings are being held in quick succession to implement the firm instructions of the central management: anticipation and maximum visibility, indicates Assabah.

The action plan primarily targets areas of high traffic. Hotel establishments, which are fully booked with the presence of foreign delegations and tourists, are subject to increased surveillance. The same applies to "fan zones" and gathering places for supporters, where the fervor of the competition must not spill over into public order. The management of road traffic, a real headache during these festive evenings, will also be at the heart of the system to avoid the paralysis of the major axes of the big cities.

To carry out this mission, the DGSN is relying on an integrated technological and operational approach. In addition to the massive deployment of mobile teams, motorized brigades and filtering checkpoints, the police will heavily rely on video surveillance. Connected to command and coordination posts, the cameras will allow the detection of the slightest incident in real time and the precise targeting of interventions. The objective is clear: to ensure that the transition to 2026 takes place in a friendly, secure atmosphere and worthy of Morocco’s image as a host of major events.
