Modernization of Rabat's Police Command Center
On July 13, 2026, the Rabat Police Prefecture officially inaugurated its newly upgraded command and coordination center, marking a significant advancement in the region's security infrastructure. This modern facility has undergone a comprehensive renovation, transforming it into a cutting-edge model that is poised to enhance operational capabilities. The revamped command center now integrates a centralized data management system and a crisis management cell, which are essential for effective coordination during emergencies.
The updated command center is designed to oversee vital public safety operations, manage traffic security, and coordinate police response teams, while also providing real-time surveillance through an extensive urban video monitoring system. This system has been enhanced to include more than 1,400 high-definition cameras, which were recently deployed in collaboration with the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region's authorities.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency and Crisis Management
The new command center combines multiple security functions within a single facility, utilizing modern architecture and advanced technical standards tailored for contemporary policing needs. It is responsible for managing the capital's video surveillance network, monitoring urban traffic, and handling emergency calls received through the dedicated number 19. Calls are processed in a unified operational space, enabling the efficient dispatch of police units to respond to incidents on the streets.
The facility features a multifunctional room where operators are available 24/7 to receive public calls, supported by a technical platform designed to handle numerous simultaneous requests. Collected data is logged into a comprehensive database, facilitating swift transmission to the operational management team, which allocates missions to field units as needed.
Additionally, the command center houses an integrated data collection and storage center that adheres to current cybersecurity standards, enabling real-time storage and retrieval of digital content for security operations and national safety missions. In emergencies, a crisis management center within the facility is equipped to respond immediately to exceptional situations, maintaining connectivity with all security databases and communication networks, thus ensuring continuous decision-making autonomy.
Originally inaugurated in 2016, the Rabat Police Prefecture's command center had been serving as a pilot project for mobile police units for a decade before undergoing this comprehensive upgrade in 2026, ensuring that it meets the evolving demands of public safety and operational effectiveness.
