National Security Strategy: New police station covers entries to the Sahara provinces

Modernizing security infrastructure at the heart of the DGSN strategy

In a move reflecting its ongoing commitment to modernizing police facilities and bringing administration closer to citizens, the General Directorate for National Security (DGSN) has inaugurated a new headquarters for the second police district in the city of Sidi Ifni. This inauguration, which coincides with the Moroccan people’s celebrations of the anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People and Youth Day, highlights the security institution’s desire to keep pace with the urban and social transformations experienced by the Kingdom’s cities, especially those located at the gateways to the southern provinces.

Modern security facility serving citizens

Security sources confirmed that the new headquarters is not merely an architectural addition, but represents an advanced security facility designed to technical standards that account for the requirements of high-quality reception and offer a suitable working environment for police personnel. This project aims to strengthen community policing, ensure rapid response to citizens’ calls, and facilitate access to the administrative and preventive services provided by the police services in Sidi Ifni.

Strengthening security presence in the southern provinces

The opening of this police district has clear strategic implications; the DGSN continues its policy of “balanced security coverage” beyond major metropolitan areas. This trend consolidates the presence of state institutions across all regions of the Kingdom and provides sustainable security protection for the population, making Sidi Ifni a model for southern cities that are receiving increasing attention within the comprehensive security development strategy.

Continuity of modernization: A vision that goes beyond construction

The working philosophy currently adopted by the DGSN is based on linking the modernization of technical equipment with infrastructure development. The new headquarters in Sidi Ifni is not just a building, but part of an integrated system aimed at making the police service an accessible and user-friendly space for everyone. This strengthens the sense of security and safety for both citizens and residents, placing the security administration at the heart of current societal challenges.
