DGSN Open Days Highlight Strong Commitment of Mounted Police to Tourist Safety in Morocco
The Open Days of the Directorate General of National Security (DGSN) in El Jadida offer visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the Mounted Police's role in promoting tourist safety in Morocco, and its contribution to the protection of citizens and their property. Mounted Police units complement the work of other security services by carrying out surveillance and control operations using horses, whose ability to adapt to a variety of environments is a major asset, particularly in tourist areas, natural areas or areas with steep slopes. In this context, the head of the Equestrian Police division at the DGSN, Mohammed Bouhallouch, said that, as part of its proximity policy, the DGSN had set up this unit to provide security coverage in places that are difficult for vehicles and motorcycles to access, such as parks, urban forests and beaches, among others. In a statement to MAP, Bouhallouch stressed that, as part of its drive to strengthen community policing, the DGSN ensures a continuous presence of its officers in these natural and tourist areas, in order to guarantee the safety of citizens in general and tourists in particular, enabling them to enjoy these areas in complete peace of mind. He added that, thanks to its mounted units, the DGSN is working to reinforce the sense of security by monitoring areas that are difficult for conventional intervention vehicles to access, such as beaches and forests, while also helping to maintain public order during sporting and major cultural events. The Mounted Police stand, set up as part of these communication days, this year focuses on equestrian-related professions, given their essential role in preserving the health and safety of horses, as well as enhancing their ability to carry out the security missions entrusted to them, he pointed out. These professions include saddler, responsible for the manufacture, repair and maintenance of equestrian equipment (reins, bridles, saddles); groom, responsible for cleaning and equipping horses, ensuring their comfort in a healthy environment and overseeing their diet; farrier, specialized in shoeing and hoof maintenance; and veterinary assistant, who monitors the health of horses and guarantees a healthy and suitable living environment.
