On May 16, 2025, Mustapha El Maaza, Governor of Taza Province, presided over the 69th anniversary celebration of the founding of Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security (DGSN). The event took place at the Regional Security Headquarters in Taza, in the presence of senior security and military officials, along with representatives from local authorities, elected bodies, and media outlets.
This national occasion served as a moment to highlight the rich legacy of dedication and sacrifice of Morocco’s national police force since its establishment on May 16, 1956. It was also an opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments and evolution of the institution in its mission to safeguard the nation and ensure the safety of its citizens.
The celebration featured presentations and speeches showcasing key milestones that have marked the DGSN’s performance over the past seven decades. Emphasis was placed on the professionalism and constant vigilance that define the institution’s work—thanks to its modernization efforts, enhanced operational tools, and improved logistical and technical capabilities.
Speakers also underscored the positive impact of the DGSN’s proactive security approach, particularly in crime prevention and maintaining a strong field presence, which has contributed to a heightened sense of security among the population and reinforced social stability.
