Practical activities of prevention and suppression of drug-related crimes in Vietnamese areas bordered with Laos and China show that it is important for law enforcement officers to have sufficient legal and operational knowledge.

Particularly, they should be trained languages and cultural practices of ethnic minorities, especially the Hmong ethnic minority. This will facilitate operations of law enforcement officers in mountainous border areas.

On the basis of the regulations issued by the General Department of Politics of the Public Security Forces, the PPA has completed necessary procedures to organize a Hmong language class in order to meet the requirements of the assigned tasks.

The course, which is expected to last 4 months, will equip learners with knowledge of history and cultural features of the Hmong community, their daily colloquial language and vocabulary relating to drug-related crimes.

Additionally, the course will also hold field trips to critical areas for learners to accumulate practical experiences.

In the time to come, the Academy will organize more courses of different ethnic minorities’ languages to meet requirements of current prevention and suppression of drug-related crimes in the new context.
