Rabat's Cutting-Edge Command and Coordination Center
The Rabat Police Prefecture, which first inaugurated a command center of this type in 2016, has recently launched a state-of-the-art 2.0 command and coordination center on Monday, July 13. This facility is linked to more than 1,400 urban cameras, emergency number 19, and the police's data networks, as confirmed by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN). This significant upgrade enhances the operational capabilities of law enforcement in the region.
With the recent installation of high-definition cameras in collaboration with the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra authorities, the center has been redesigned to connect to a network exceeding 1,400 cameras. This robust system not only coordinates field operations but also monitors traffic, dispatches emergency police units, and provides real-time surveillance of the city. Through this advanced setup, the DGSN ensures a comprehensive approach to urban safety and security.
Comprehensive Facilities and Real-Time Communication
The newly established command center amalgamates various essential components within a single building, including a multipurpose hall, a mission distribution post, a data center, and a crisis management unit. Operators are available around the clock, receiving calls on emergency number 19, thanks to a sophisticated technical platform capable of handling a high volume of communications simultaneously. This immediate response capability is crucial for effective public safety management.
Every call received is promptly recorded in a computerized database, allowing the communication management room to immediately distribute missions to police units deployed in public areas. The data center retains digital content in accordance with the latest cybersecurity standards, facilitating quick access for urgent interventions and other public service tasks assigned to national security. This integrated system centralizes information from cameras, communications, and police databases, significantly enhancing situational awareness and response efficiency.
The crisis management unit is directly connected to security databases and both wired and mobile communication networks. It is equipped to address exceptional situations without delay, boasting full autonomy, independent decision-making power, and continuous availability to manage security emergencies. Over the past decade, the original center had previously set the standard for mobile police response teams, handling emergency calls from Rabat residents.
In 2026, the Prefecture of Police decided to completely revamp the facility, connecting it to modern video surveillance systems and streamlining communication and data management. The new system not only tracks movements and transportation flows within the urban area but also supervises cameras in real-time, consolidating calls, information analysis, and patrol dispatches into a unified command space. This modern command center combines contemporary architecture with technical standards tailored for urban policing missions.
