Overview
The Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) is Morocco's national police authority, recruiting new personnel across several entry levels, including gardien de la paix (entry-level officer), inspecteur de police, and officer-level roles, through competitive concours announced on its own recruitment channels.
Who can apply
Eligibility (educational qualification, age range, height and physical fitness standards, and nationality) is set out separately for each announced concours and entry level, generally requiring Moroccan nationality and a clean criminal record.
Exam pattern
Selection generally includes a written test (general knowledge and, for higher entry levels, subject-specific content), a physical fitness test, a medical examination, and an interview, with exact structure and weighting set out in the specific concours announcement.
How to apply
Applications are submitted online through the DGSN's recruitment portal during the registration window announced for that specific concours and entry level.
After the exam
Candidates who pass all stages attend training at a police training institute (Institut Royal de Police or equivalent, depending on entry level) before being posted to operational police duty.
Preparation tips
Because eligibility and test content differ by entry level (gardien de la paix, inspecteur, officer), confirming the specific concours' requirements and syllabus before preparing avoids wasted effort on the wrong level's content.
