The new institute, which aims to strengthen and modernize police training in the country, is part of Morocco’s vision to develop modern police training programs that meet current security challenges.
It will work alongside the Royal Police Institute in Kenitra and regional police schools to offer training courses, workshops, and international partnerships aimed at developing security leadership and strengthening officers’ skills.
The inauguration was attended by national and international partners in academic and police training, including Dr. Abdul Majeed bin Abdullah Al-Bunyan, President of Naif Arab University for Security Sciences in Saudi Arabia, and Major General Rashid Mohammed Borshid, Director of the Saif bin Zayed Academy for Security and Police Sciences in Abu Dhabi.
