There were regional and tribal Muhtasibs (equivalent to a police commissioner) who were appointed by the Pasha.[7] The Muhtasib had the power to issue fines for minor offenses.[8] Criminals were tried in front of a Qadi, the judge of a Sharia court. The Qadi issued judgements in criminal, civil and commercial cases.[7]
On July 20, 1901, Morocco formed its first national border patrol.[9][10] The patrol was in charge of ensuring the security of the border with French Algeria, under the control of a commissioner in Oujda.[11][12]
In 1906, the Algeciras Conference led to various police reforms in Morocco.[13] The reforms established a national police force that would fall under the Sultan's sovereign authority. The police force's recruitment would be overseen by the Makhzen and commanded by Caïds. Additionally, the police force would be stationed in the eight ports that were open to international trade.[14][15]
Protectorateedit
In 1912, the General Police Service was created after the installement of the French Protectorate in Morocco.[16] In 1913, a forensic identification unit was formed.[16][17] A general forensic identification service was formed in November 1931.[17]
Post-independenceedit
On May 16, 1956, a year after Morocco gained independence, the DGSN was formed.[18] The Royal Institute of Police in Kenitra was inaugurated in 1978.[19] The Scientific and Technical Police Laboratory in Casablanca was created in 1991.[19]
On 8 September 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 Mw hit Marrakesh-Safi region of Morocco.[20][21] DGSN along with DGST has announced it will contribute MAD 50 million to Special Fund for Managing Earthquake Effects.[22][23][24] They set up two mobile bakeries near Marrakech, to provide Bread to those who were affected by the earthquake.[25]
