Paramilitary Forces
Morocco's 50,000 paramilitary personnel serve in the Royal Gendarmerie (Gendarmerie Royale-GR), Auxiliary Forces, Customs, and Coast Guard.
The General Office of National Security (Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale - DGSN) is a national civilian police force divided into 37 local districts, subordinate to the Ministry of Interior. The Royal Gendarmerie (Gendarmerie Royale - GR), a paramilitary force that is formally part of the armed forces, augments the DGSN, serving as the country's main rural police unit while the DGSN concentrates primarily on urban areas. The DGSN, Royal Gendarmerie, and other Moroccan security organizations face allegations of human rights abuses.
