Ho Chi Minh City is a bright spot in implementing and spreading the “All people protect national security” movement, which received a warm response from city dwellers, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said at a conference in the city on August 14.
Given the complicated global situation and domestic order and security developments, the movement plays a crucial role in ensuring social safety and peace, he said, adding that the municipal People’s Committee should continue to expand and renew the drive across the city.
He asked police forces to focus on mass mobilisation as a basic measure and long-term strategy. The police should also serve as consultants for municipal leaders while closely coordinating with the Vietnam Fatherland Front and relevant units to promote the movement, he said.
Deputy Director of the municipal Police Department Dinh Thanh Nhan reported that over the past 10 years, city dwellers have provided over 612,000 pieces of information relating to social order and security, including nearly 400,000 valuable tips that helped the police investigate 65,000 cases, handle over 100,000 violators and reclaim property worth over 220 billion VND (9.9 million USD).
People in the city have also coordinated with police forces to arrest over 28,000 violators and persuade nearly 3,000 offenders to give themselves up to the police, Nhan said.
The city has built 122 people-based models for social order and security protection, such as “anti-crime street worker group” and “camera monitoring social order”.
