Under the authority of the Prime Minister, Minister To Lam awards the Prime Minister's Certificate of Merit to the department for its contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The department also focused on reflecting the good results of the Party Congresses of public security units at all levels, the 7th Public Security Party Congress, the 75th founding anniversary of the Public Security Forces, and the 15th “All People Protecting National Security” Festive Day, contributing to beautifying the image of the public security officer in the hearts of the people.

The public security media and press sector also produced 4,686 news articles and broadcasts (2,000 more than that of 2019) to popularize the achievements of the forces in the fight against crimes, the efforts of public security officers and soldiers in overcoming all difficulties,  fulfilling their assigned tasks, as well as to reflect good examples in the movement “All people protect the national security”.
