“National Security’s security coverage reaches 80%”
The Minister of the Interior discusses security in urban areas:
The very accelerated pace of the construction of new police structures throughout the country and the recruitment, in thousands, of new assimilated agents across many cities, in particular the ten new wilayas, have made it possible to increase the level of national security coverage. A territorial security which has given excellent results against organized crime, this has earned great gratitude from the Head of State to the DGSN through his important decisions which he has taken in order to persecute to respond to professional and social concerns and improve the level of preparation of the police officers.
While exploring, yesterday Monday, the headquarters of the Directorate of Republican Security Units of El-Hamiz in Algiers, the Minister of the Interior and Local Authorities, Brahim Merad revealed that the security coverage rate within the territory of jurisdiction of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) “has reached 80% over the past four years,” he revealed. This revelation made by the Minister of the Interior came on the occasion of his supervision, yesterday Monday, of the commemorative ceremony of the 62nd anniversary since the creation of the Algerian Police, held at the headquarters of the Directorate of Republican Security Units, an occasion on which the head of local authorities paid a vibrant tribute to the exploits achieved by all the staff of the DGSN. At the headquarters of the Directorate of Republican Units of El-Hamiz, located in the suburbs of Algiers, Brahim Merad declared: “The Algerian police has been able, in recent years, to keep pace with the important development movement that our country is experiencing at all levels and levels, and that the national rate of security coverage has reached nearly 80%, thanks to the significant efforts deployed over the last four years,” he said.
Explaining further the reasons for this increase in the rate of security coverage throughout the country, the Minister of the Interior highlighted the construction of many new structures over the past four years, particularly in urban areas and especially in the ten new wilayas. “The approximate presence in the neighborhoods of security installations under the National Security has been strengthened, since during the period 2020-2024, 185 new projects were recorded, while six new security specializations were created, depending on the requirements of the field and the evolution of forms of crime,” observed Brahim Merad. Speaking more about the plan and the rate of security coverage in the ten new wilayas of the country, Brahim Merad reported a significant increase in the recruitment of new police officers. “The ten new wilayas have benefited from the recruitment and deployment of 8,000 assimilated police officers, all children from the southern region of the country, just as we have achieved and reached a rate of 45% of construction of new structures in order to ensure optimal security coverage, in addition to developing a well-refined security plan to strengthen stability in residential complexes, at the level of urban centers, this by assigning 84 new structures at their level, but also by intensifying mobile and foot patrols, by integrating modern means and by strengthening proximity work,” Mr. Merad said during his visit, the day before yesterday, to the headquarters of the Directorate of Republican Units of El-Hamiz. On the other hand, he announced the digitization of 1,000 police stations with optical fiber.
On another front, that of the fight against organized crime, the Minister of the Interior paid a vibrant tribute to the police officers after the numerous qualitative operations carried out against drug trafficking networks, cybercrime networks, where Brahim Merad reported, in this sense, the promotion of 100,000 police officers and 120,000 training courses have been scheduled over the past four years. Before concluding his speech on the sidelines of his visit to the headquarters of the Republican units of El-Hamiz, the first person in charge of urban planning management in the country urged the blue men to continue their great mobilization to achieve a higher security coverage rate than today and to ensure the security protection of citizens and their property.
