70 Years of National Security: A Journey of Dedication and Modernization

Seven Decades of Dedication: National Security Bridges Memory and Modernization

In its latest May 2026 issue, the Police Magazine dedicates a special feature to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the National Security institution, titled “National Security: 70 Years Between Historical Legacy and Strategic Modernization Leadership.” This issue documents a pivotal moment in the history of the security apparatus, which has successfully combined the preservation of historical achievements with the transition toward a modern, sophisticated policing model.

Royal Vision and Exceptional Path

The magazine’s editorial emphasizes that this anniversary is not merely a routine celebration, but a historical milestone embodied in the royal message addressed to the Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance, Mr. Abdellatif Hammouchi. The message pays tribute to the efforts of security personnel for their constant dedication to protecting the Kingdom’s stability. This coincided with the inauguration of the new central headquarters in Rabat, a sovereign edifice reflecting openness and modernity.

Digital Innovation: The Pillar of “Police of the Future”

The magazine devotes significant space to artificial intelligence and security, noting that technology is no longer an option but the backbone of the modern security system. In the face of growing challenges from cross-border crime, the General Directorate of National Security has adopted a proactive strategy based on massive investments in technological infrastructure and the integration of AI algorithms, consolidating the shift from reactive to proactive security.

The Human Dimension at the Core of Security Work

Social aspects were not overlooked during these celebrations. Institutional initiatives included providing apartments to the widows of fallen officers and strengthening support mechanisms for employees with disabilities. These gestures confirm that the General Directorate prioritizes the human element above all, rooting values of loyalty and solidarity within the institution, which positively reflects on the performance of professionals in the field.

An Internationally Recognized Security Model

The Moroccan security model is now globally recognized, as evidenced by the widespread participation of international and national actors in recent activities, including the “Open Days.” The Moroccan experience has proven its ability to combine organizational quality, openness to citizens, and technical professionalism, making the expertise of Moroccan National Security a reference point for many countries in managing contemporary security issues.
