Over one million visitors in two days: record success for the National Security Directorate’s Open Doors Days in El Jadida in 2025

The sixth edition of the Open Doors Days (JPO) of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), held in El Jadida, witnessed unprecedented popular enthusiasm. In just two days, more than 1,170,000 visitors attended the event, setting a new record that far exceeds the 770,000 visitors recorded during the previous edition held in Agadir in 2024.

This dramatic increase reflects the growing interest of citizens in this communication initiative, aimed at better showcasing the police’s missions and strengthening ties between law enforcement and civil society.

The second day marked a peak attendance with nearly 750,000 visitors, compared to 420,000 on the same day during the Agadir edition, indicating increasing public engagement day by day.

These figures confirm that the 2025 edition in El Jadida represents a major milestone in the institutional openness process, contributing tangibly to strengthening trust between public security and citizens. This event is thus established as a fixed annual appointment in the national calendar.

This remarkable success also highlights the public’s appreciation for such initiatives, which embody the concept of “community policing” and promote direct dialogue between security forces and residents, within a comprehensive vision promoted by the DGSN to enhance transparency and openness.

The festivities started at 10 a.m. on the first day with a series of interactive attractions and police demonstrations that captivated visitors of all ages. Among the highlights, a demonstration by trained police dogs showcased live operations for detecting explosives and drugs, eliciting great interest and strong participation from the public.

The event also featured spectacular shows by police cavalry and motorcyclists, accompanied by musical performances from the official DGSN orchestra. A field simulation of police interventions, combining awareness and education, completed this rich program.

Furthermore, the scientific dimension was not neglected, with a specialized conference organized on “artificial intelligence in the security field.” Experts presented the challenges and opportunities offered by this innovative technology to improve the effectiveness of police operations.

This event is part of the DGSN’s strategy to strengthen proximity and openness policies by actively involving citizens in learning about the police’s multiple missions, highlighting progress made in organizational structure and modern equipment, as well as efforts deployed to ensure the country’s security and citizens’ protection.
