Minister To Lam speaking at the event.

Addressing the event, Minister To Lam emphasized that the communal police force plays an important role in grasping the local situation and resolving cases from the grassroots level. They also give advice to local Party Committees and authorities to better organize the movement “All people protecting National security”.

Minister To Lam also briefed the participants on the ongoing process of reorganizing the Ministry of Public Security’s apparatus in accordance with Resolution 22 of the Politburo, saying that the Ministry of Public Security will post commissioned police officers to areas with complex social and security issues, and will apply the model nationwide after some relevant legal documents have been completed.

In recent years, the Kon Tum Provincial Police Department has posted professional police officers, instead of non-commissioned police officers, to 10 wards, 6 towns and 32 communes with complex security and order situations.

This move has demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency so the Kon Tum Provincial Police Department will soon build the communal-level police post apparatus and staff the remaining 54 communes of the province with professional police officers.

Minister To Lam suggested that the relevant agencies should allocate sufficient materials, and create favorable conditions for the communal-level police force to complete their assigned tasks.
