Root Cause

Morocco does not use 911. In cities dial 19 for police; in rural areas the Gendarmerie Royale is 177. Ambulance/SAMU is 15 and fire (Protection Civile) is 150. 112 from a mobile also works.

  2. 82% success From a mobile, 112 also routes to emergency services anywhere in Morocco. 
    Use 19 (city) or 177 (rural) for police, 15 for ambulance, 150 for fire, or 112 from a mobile.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Dial 911 in Morocco expecting to reach emergency services 95% fail

    911 is not the emergency number in Morocco. Police is 19 in cities and 177 (gendarmerie) in rural areas; ambulance is 15. A 911 call does not connect to local police, fire, or ambulance.

  2. Dial 19 (urban police) when you are outside a city 45% fail

    Outside urban areas the Gendarmerie Royale (177) has jurisdiction, not the 19 police line; dialing 19 in the countryside reaches the wrong service.
