  • Reports reveal irregularities in the administration of administrative police forces in several regions of Morocco.
  • These issues have resurfaced concerns about the effectiveness of these forces in monitoring violations.
  • The problems are particularly noted during the summer, a period of high commercial and tourist activity.

Irregularities in the administration of administrative police forces have been uncovered in several regions across Morocco, including Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salรฉ-Kรฉnitra, and Marrakech-Safi. Reports from internal affairs departments highlight significant issues in how these forces manage public spaces and enforce regulations.

The revelations have brought to the forefront questions about the efficiency of the administrative police. Their role in monitoring violations and ensuring compliance with laws appears limited, especially during the summer months. This period sees a surge in commercial activities, tourism, and the occupation of public property, making effective oversight crucial.

Sources indicate that these shortcomings may be linked to suspicions of electoral manipulation. The timing of these reports, surfacing during a period of heightened activity and potential political maneuvering, suggests a deeper examination of the administrative police's conduct and its impact on public order and fair practices is warranted.
