Groupes urbains de sécurité (GUS) (also known as "Croatia"[1]) (English: Urban Security Groups) is a defunct Moroccan special police unit which dealt with urban matters using the "rapid intervention approach."
GUS was established by the Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) (the main national police body) on October 17, 2005.
The initiative lied within the scope of a general reform, whose principle was "the Police force, near to you for your safety".
Because of its nature as an auxiliary police, GUS, for example did not have the right to confiscate driver licences or to file official reports.
While many Moroccans regarded the presence of GUS as a relief, many others considered it as a step back to the rule of the Makhzen.
