Algiers, December 28, 2025 – The National Gendarmerie has implemented a comprehensive security plan to safeguard citizens and property during the upcoming New Year’s celebrations and coinciding winter school holidays.
The plan entails a widespread deployment of personnel and resources across the country, ensuring a visible presence to maintain public order and road safety. This initiative is particularly crucial given the anticipated increase in traffic and the influx of both citizens and foreign tourists to tourist destinations, hotels, and commercial areas nationwide, especially in the southern regions.
Gendarmerie units will secure gathering places, recreational areas, tourist sites, train stations, and bus terminals. They will also focus on managing traffic flow and monitoring roadways, particularly at the entrances and outskirts of populated areas.
Beyond security measures, the plan incorporates preventative actions, including raising awareness among road users about the importance of adhering to safe driving practices, especially during the winter season’s often challenging weather conditions.
The National Gendarmerie reminds the public that they can utilize various communication channels for assistance. The toll-free number 1055 is available for reporting incidents, requesting emergency aid, or requiring intervention. The ‘Tariqi’ Facebook page provides real-time road condition updates, and the Gendarmerie’s website offers online services for submitting complaints and accessing remote information.
