Which Number Should You Call?<\/h2>\n

Medical Emergency \u2192 Call 15<\/h3>\n

<\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n
Give your hotel name<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crime, Theft or Assault \u2192 Call 19<\/h3>\n

19 is the national police (S\u00fbret\u00e9 Nationale), which covers urban areas including Marrakech medina, Gueliz, and Casablanca. For incidents outside cities, call 177 (Gendarmerie Royale) instead.<\/p>\n

<\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n
Filing a police report<\/strong><\/p>\n
