The General Directorate for National Security in Morocco, overseen by Director General Abdellatif Hammouchi, has implemented a series of leadership appointments across central and decentralized services.

Initial appointments included 10 police leadership roles spanning public security, general intelligence, and judicial police. These changes affected various regions, including Oujda, Ouarzazate, Laayoune, and Zagora, as well as central departments managing demographic data. 

Subsequent leadership movements expanded to include positions such as the head of the Regional Security Commission in Missour, the deputy head of the Regional Security Zone in Skhirat-Temara, and various roles within the uniformed police services in Rabat. 

These administrative shifts are described as a strategic effort to promote young talent, ensure the rotation of management positions, and enhance the operational efficiency and productivity of police human resources.
