Public Safety Software for Senegal
Unified platform for Senegal Police Nationale and Gendarmerie — integrated CAD dispatch across 14 regions, Dakar Safe City, DGPC civil protection, Port of Dakar/PAD, PETROSEN Sangomar offshore, CDP/Law 2008-12 compliance, and DCMP/SIGMAP procurement.
Public Safety in Senegal: Operational Context
The Police Nationale of Senegal under the Ministry of Interior covers all 14 regions with the Direction de la Police Judiciaire (DPJ) and Anti-Terrorism Unit (UAT). The Gendarmerie Nationale manages rural and border zones reporting to the Ministry of Defence. The SDIS Dakar and DGPC coordinate emergency response with number 18 and single SAMU 15 for medical emergencies.
Senegal faces significant seasonal challenges: annual flooding in the Dakar metropolitan area (Pikine/Guédiawaye, hivernage June-October) affects millions. The ONAS and Plan Décennal de Lutte contre les Inondations (PDLI) are key components of the response framework.
Senegal launched its first oil and gas exports in 2024 with the Sangomar offshore field (PETROSEN/Woodside), transforming the national critical infrastructure security profile. The Port Autonome de Dakar (PAD) is the largest port on Africa's west coast handling 18M+ tonnes annually. AIBD Blaise Diagne Airport handles 5M+ passengers annually.
President Faye's Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE) and Vision 2050 drive public safety digitalisation with investment in Dakar Safe City, biometric identification systems and inter-agency coordination platforms.
