MPS holds a symposium reviewing professional work of Central Highlands police forces

Deputy Minister Nguyen Duy Ngoc speaks at the meeting.

Major General Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Deputy Minister of Public Security, chaired the event.

At the meeting, delegates discussed issues related to the development of the National Database on Population, the deployment of professional police officers to communes and the control of illegal use and storage of weapons, explosives, and support tools. They also proposed measures to overcome local police’s shortcomings in performing these tasks.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Minister Nguyen Duy Ngoc recognized and praised the achievements by the police forces of the five Central Highlands provinces.

Regarding the key tasks in the coming time, the Deputy Minister requested the police forces of the Central Highlands provinces to consolidate the apparatus of the professional police force at the local communes and townships. The provincial police should also encourage part-time communal police officers and mobilize local people to participate in protecting local security and social order.

The local police forces were also asked to call on people to surrender illegally stored weapons, explosives, and combat gears to the authorities, as well as to report cases of illegal storage and use of weapons. They should well carry out the State management over security conditional industries while ensuring fire safety, stabilizing the local security situation, contributing to socio-economic development of the Central Highlands provinces.
