The Royal Institute of Police in Kenitra hosts a training course on explosive devices in collaboration with the UK
In the framework of enhancing international security cooperation, the Royal Institute of Police in Kenitra hosted a specialized training course on emerging types of explosive devices from February 3 to 5. The course was aimed at national security personnel working in bomb disposal units.
The training was conducted by experts from the British counter-terrorism agency alongside their counterparts from the General Directorate of National Security. The program included theoretical and practical lessons, focusing on techniques for technical intelligence regarding weapons and methods for forensic investigation to identify the nature of explosions and the types and components of explosives used.
Coinciding with the launch of the course, the General Directorate of National Security received modern operational equipment to handle explosive devices from the United Kingdom, as part of equipment specifically for combating emerging types of explosives designated “C-IED”. The ceremony was attended by representatives from the British Embassy in Morocco and officials from Moroccan and British security services.
The organization of this course aligns with the strategy of the General Directorate of National Security, aimed at building the capabilities of its security personnel and enhancing their preparedness to face evolving criminal and terrorist threats through the exchange of expertise and best practices with international partners.
The statement indicated that the Directorate has been working in recent years to raise the efficiency of its specialized units in addressing security challenges by establishing regional bomb disposal teams at various police leadership levels. This ensures effective management of suspicious items and the security of major events, all within a comprehensive vision that addresses national security needs.
