In the current context, he urged the force to strongly renovate their mindsets in order to make their mission of controlling crime beneficial for socio-economic development.
The Prime Minister also urged the force to improve the force ability to forecast and evaluate the situation, proactively identify emerging crime trends, methods and tactics and promptly advise the Party and State on improving policies and laws on crime prevention and control, especially for new types of crime, leaving no loopholes for criminal activities.
Speaking in reply to the Prime Minister’s instructions, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long affirmed that the Public Security Central Party Committee, the Ministry of Public Security and the entire Criminal Police Force with their highest sense of discipline and responsibility will make all-out effort to realize the Party’s resolutions, especially the 14th Party Congress’s one, and perform their tasks in the time to come.
