Morocco's DGSN Open Days : Pioneering security with drone technology
The 6th edition of the Open Days (JPO), organized by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), features a major innovation: a pavilion dedicated entirely to drones. This new addition reflects the ongoing shift toward the digitalization of security operations and underscores the growing importance of advanced technologies in enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement interventions, surveillance, and rapid response to emerging security threats. The pavilion allows visitors to explore how intelligent drones are integrated into the daily operations of law enforcement, becoming essential tools for addressing the complex challenges of maintaining public order. According to Divisional Commissioner Mohamed Mrabet, the DGSN has established specialized brigades focused on drone deployment and piloting to support both national and international events. These expert-led brigades use drones to improve coordination on the ground and provide strategic support to security operations—all while operating within the legal framework, particularly the law on personal data protection. Drones are employed to monitor large gatherings, combat irregular migration in hard-to-reach areas, and detect traffic violations, such as vehicles refusing to comply with police orders. They also help reinforce security in urban areas, offering a flexible and efficient alternative to traditional patrols. The integration of drone technology reflects the DGSN's commitment to staying aligned with global advancements in artificial intelligence. It aims to ensure more targeted, proactive interventions and to strengthen the responsiveness and effectiveness of Morocco's security services.

DGSN Open Days: Morocco Displays New Era of Security Tech with Drone Pavilion
Rabat – The General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) unveiled a new drone pavilion at the 6th edition of its Open Days event, marking a significant step in the digital transformation of Morocco's security operations. The pavilion, one of the standout features of this year's event, showcases the DGSN's growing reliance on cutting-edge drone technology to enhance field operations, surveillance, and rapid response capabilities. Speaking at the event, Chief Commissioner Mohamed Mrabet, head of division at the DGSN's Directorate of Public Security, said that specialized central brigades have been created to manage drone deployment and piloting. These units support national and international events held across the country, and are composed of trained personnel operating within Morocco's legal framework, including Law No. 09-08 on personal data protection. 'Thanks to their wide-angle view and real-time data, drones help strengthen coordination on the ground and offer strategic support to security operations,' Mrabet stated. Drones are now routinely used in crowd control during major public events, such as sports gatherings, by detecting and tracking behaviors that could disrupt public order. They are also instrumental in monitoring irregular migration routes, particularly in remote or hard-to-reach areas, offering fast and precise surveillance over vast distances. In road safety operations, drones are used to detect dangerous driving behaviors, such as vehicles fleeing police control. Their aerial tracking allows law enforcement to locate suspects and direct field units to intervene according to legal procedures. In urban areas, drones complement traditional patrols by monitoring traffic flow and identifying suspicious activity. This flexible approach contributes to a more efficient allocation of human resources and a stronger security presence. DGSN's investment in drone technology is part of its broader effort to keep pace with global advancements in artificial intelligence, ensuring more targeted, proactive, and rapid responses to security challenges.
