The Liberia National Police (LNP) has announced the formal signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on security and police cooperation with the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) of the Kingdom of Morocco.
According to a press release dated May 18, 2026, the agreement represents a significant step toward strengthening bilateral relations between the Republic of Liberia and the Kingdom of Morocco, while advancing international law enforcement cooperation in addressing transnational crime, terrorism, cybercrime, trafficking, financial crimes, and other emerging security threats.
The Memorandum establishes a structured framework for cooperation in several critical areas, including intelligence and information sharing, capacity building and specialized police training, border security and migration management, public order management and major event security, counterterrorism and tactical operations, technical and scientific policing, cybersecurity cooperation, forensic science and criminal investigations, drone technology and modern surveillance systems, as well as joint operational coordination and professional exchanges.
The Liberia National Police views this partnership as a strategic investment in institutional modernization, operational readiness, and the adoption of international best practices aimed at strengthening public safety and national security.
Inspector General of Police Gregory O.W. Coleman noted that contemporary security threats increasingly transcend national borders and require stronger international partnerships grounded in professionalism, mutual respect, lawful cooperation, and shared security interests.
“This cooperation framework reflects the Liberia National Police’s continued commitment to modernization, professional excellence, and international collaboration in addressing evolving security challenges affecting both our region and the global community,” Inspector General Coleman stated.
He further emphasizes that the Memorandum is a non-binding cooperation instrument that fully respects the sovereignty, constitutional frameworks, national laws, and institutional priorities of both countries.
The LNP expresses profound appreciation to His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., the Government of Liberia, and the Embassy of the Republic of Liberia near Rabat for their support in strengthening Liberia’s international security partnerships.
LNP also extends sincere appreciation to the General Directorate of National Security of the Kingdom of Morocco for its commitment to deepening professional cooperation and promoting collective efforts toward regional and international peace and security.
The LNP says it remains committed to building a modern, capable, accountable, and internationally connected police service that contributes to national stability, investor confidence, economic resilience, and the protection of all persons within the Republic of Liberia.
