The Se Kong Provincial Police Department’s Deputy Director requested the participants to carefully study lectures so that they can apply their acquired knowledge and skills into their practical work after the training course.

During the training course, lecturers from the People’s Police University and high-profile police officers from the Quang Nam Provincial Police Department are expected to lecture a number of specialized topics on investigation of drug-related cases.
