The DGSN also mobilized several hundred police vehicles and deployed technical, technological and logistical resources to guarantee the security of this event, in line with its strategy of providing specific and integrated security support for international events held in the Kingdom.
A plan of action was drawn up, together with detailed and meticulous planning, culminating in a comprehensive safety protocol which served as a roadmap for the successful completion of this important operation.
The security protocol for the Annual Meetings of the WB and the IMF is characterized by an integrated mapping of the city of Marrakech, including a precise delimitation of the "Bab Ighli" site which houses the meeting village, through outlining its boundaries, entrances and peripheral roads.
The other sectors of the city and its outlying areas are also taken into account, with the identification of all important sites and points that have a direct or indirect link with the venue (hotels, accommodation facilities, transport, foreign representations, etc.).
The preparation phase of the security protocol also involved the operational distribution of police units, teams and vehicles of various types, according to the different, carefully delineated urban security sectors.
The security executives responsible for the chain of command were assigned to each sector, through defining their level of responsibility and specifying the coordination mechanisms between them and the command centers at the Marrakech police headquarters.
In addition, a wireless communication network has been set up, enabling instant digital communication between all these components.
The final security protocol also includes a detailed schedule of events throughout the Annual Meetings, from the arrival of participants to the closing ceremony and their safe departure from the country.
In line with international security standards for major events, Moroccan security authorities have introduced several levels of surveillance to ensure the safety of the village hosting the Meetings.
