At the opening session.

The Department of Foreign Relations under the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in collaboration with the US Embassy in Vietnam has just opened an English training course for the officers of the MPS.

This program is in the framework of the Letter of Agreement (LOA) on law enforcement and criminal justice assistance between the two countries, which was signed in May 2016 during the official visit of the then US President Barack Obama to Vietnam. 

The LOA covers projects to improve the capacity of Vietnamese law enforcement forces to conduct evidence-based investigations,  ensure security and safety for citizens, and prevent and combat transnational crime and other types of crime.

The training course aims to provide trainees with English used in law enforcement sector. The course-book is the “English for Law Enforcement” published by the UK Education Group MacMillian, which is widely used in English training courses for law enforcement forces in many countries around the world.
