HIBAPRESS – W.A.M.
The topic of "The New Recruitment and Training Charter at the Directorate General of National Security" was the focus of a scientific symposium held today, Wednesday, in Rabat, within the framework of the seventh session of the Open Days for National Security.
This symposium aimed to enrich the institutional discussion about the close link between the recruitment and police training processes, as they are two essential links within the strategy of the Directorate General to qualify its human resources.
In this context, Police Superintendent Anis Mumsik, Head of the Recruitment and Competitions Department at the Human Resources Department of the Directorate General of National Security, affirmed that the new recruitment charter primarily seeks to enshrine the principle of merit, equal opportunities, and improve the selection process.
Mumsik explained that the study of the needs of the Directorate General of National Security is based on precise scientific criteria in consultation with the central directorates, pointing out that the basic system for national security employees issued in 2019 came with several developments, including opening up recruitment prospects in higher ranks such as Police Superintendent for some specializations such as doctors and engineers, and expanding the base of required specializations to include economics and psychology, which contributed to increasing the attractiveness of police competitions, with the annual number of candidates exceeding 100,000 candidates.
In a related context, the security official pointed out that the Directorate General has adopted a policy of openness and permanent communication with its environment, through active participation in various events aimed at guiding students and young people at the national level, especially the Open Days and recently at the International Book Fair in Rabat.
The speaker also highlighted that the Directorate General has established an integrated digital electronic platform exclusively dedicated to competitions and recruitment, which makes available to potential candidates all the necessary conditions, information, and data to facilitate the application process for joining the national security forces.
For his part, Dr. and Psychological Specialist, Police Superintendent Nasr El Din Aouli, addressed the topic of “Digitization of the Medical and Psychological Examination Procedure Related to Recruitment,” stressing that the profound digital transformation witnessed by institutions in light of the digital revolution has become a strategic option that is indispensable for improving administrative performance and enhancing societal and cultural values.
The official of psychotechnical tests pointed out that digitization has produced modern mechanisms that have contributed to the development of the selection and recruitment process, which represents the main entry point for managing human resources, by adding quality, speed in processing data, objectivity, and efficiency, and making it compatible with the new recruitment and training charter at the Directorate General of National Security.
He added in this context that the Inspectorate of Health Services affiliated with National Security has been working on introducing a digitized medical questionnaire file in the recruitment platform on the electronic portal of the Directorate General of National Security, where it has become one of the essential documents that the applicant must fill out during electronic registration, which allows for the smooth tracking and secure recording of information.
For his part, the Head of the Basic Training Unit at the Royal Police Institute, General Controller Mohsen Habraji, reviewed the new charter for police training, which was approved by the Director General of National Security to implement its provisions, noting that this step comes within the strategic vision of the Directorate General to qualify human capital.
The security official in his intervention touched on the historical development of police training in Morocco, highlighting that it has passed through three main stations that summarize the dialectic of multiplicity and unity; it began with the founding phase in the context of multiplicity between 1957 and 1970, followed by the phase of structuring and institutional unification between 1978 and 2003, reaching the current phase that has been extended since 2004 and is distinguished by pedagogical governance and comprehensive modernization.
In a related context, Mr. Habraji explained that the new system is based on four reference foundations and main starting points that form its legal and organizational backbone; and it is represented in the legal foundation based on the Royal Decree related to the Directorate General of National Security, organizational modernization through the decree defining the basic system of employees, in addition to the restructuring of training based on the decision of the Director General to restructure the Royal Police Institute, and finally the ethical foundation represented in the code of conduct that frames the professional identity.
He stressed that this system is based on the philosophy of the dual commitment to serve society, which embodies a bilateral contract; the first is structural, which connects the trainee with his institution, and the second is an implicit contract between the state and the users, with the aim of providing security services that reflect the highest degrees of efficiency, professionalism, and citizenship.
For their part, a number of speakers agreed that the comprehensive modernization of the recruitment process at the Directorate General of National Security does not stop at the procedural facilitation, but aims to achieve governance and establish the principles of transparency, integrity, and equal opportunities among all candidates to join the ranks of national security.
It is worth noting that the initiative of the Open Days for the Directorate General of National Security embodies the firm will of the security institution to strengthen the principles of proximity to citizens, and reflects the firm and decisive commitment of the Directorate General to modernize and improve the public police facility and the quality of its services, in line with the high directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
This event aims to support the openness of the National Security institution to its social environment, and to inform the public about all the tasks carried out by the various units and security formations mobilized to serve it and ensure its security and the safety of its property and the maintenance of public order, as well as to review all the advanced equipment, tools, and mechanisms placed at the disposal of the security services.
