On February 18, 2025, General Luong Tam Quang, Politburo member, Secretary of the Central Public Security Party Committee, Minister of Public Security, had an interview with the press about rearranging the Public Security model from 4 levels to 3 levels, receiving 5 new tasks from ministries, branches... The Government Portal respectfully introduces the content of the Minister's interview.
Dear Minister, 7 years ago, the Ministry of Public Security took the lead in streamlining the apparatus, creating a huge, fundamental change not only in industry management but also deeply affecting the whole society. Through the summary of Resolution No. 18, it is expected that the organization of the Ministry of Public Security will continue to be strongly adjusted. Could you please tell us in which areas the Ministry will continue to implement Resolution 18? How is this streamlining different from the previous period in terms of scale, nature and progress?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: Exemplary, leading in implementing the Party's policies, implementing the conclusions and plans of the Central Steering Committee, the Government Steering Committee, the Central Public Security Party Committee, the Ministry of Public Security has promptly summarized 7 years of implementing Resolution No. 18 of the 6th Conference of the 12th Central Executive Committee on a number of issues on continuing to innovate and reorganize the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently; reported to the Politburo and the 13th Central Executive Committee to approve the policy of continuing to adjust the functions, tasks, powers, and organization of the Ministry of Public Security in the direction of reorganizing the local Public Security apparatus to be streamlined, strong, and operate effectively, efficiently, and effectively; receiving a number of tasks from ministries and branches regarding the Public Security force to thoroughly overcome the situation of duplication and division in terms of areas and fields, causing difficulties and reducing efficiency in organizing services for people and businesses. In particular, the Public Security force will receive 5 task groups from ministries and branches (including state management and implementation of aviation security; state management of network information security; state management of testing and issuance of road motor vehicle driving licenses; state management of criminal records and implementation of public services to issue criminal records; state management of drug addiction treatment and post-drug addiction treatment management) and receive Corporations to build a modern, dual-purpose security industry; arrange and streamline the organization of the local police apparatus from 3 levels to 2 levels (no district-level police organization) . Compared to previous times, this arrangement and streamlining of the organization of the Ministry of Public Security is carried out synchronously with the summary of Resolution 18 of all levels and branches, in a very short time; But like the previous times, there was an extremely large amount of work, carried out with great responsibility, solidarity and unanimity of the entire force with the spirit of wholeheartedly serving the Fatherland and the people, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, daring to sacrifice, all for the development of the country, for firmly ensuring security and order, for the peaceful and happy life of the people.
From the success and experience of the previous streamlining and rearrangement, what is the viewpoint of the Ministry's leaders in not arranging district-level police when shifting from the motto "Ministry is refined, province is strong, district is comprehensive, commune is close to the grassroots" to "comprehensive province; commune is strong, close to the grassroots"? How many positions and human resources are expected to be streamlined, equivalent to saving budget resources?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: The process of summarizing Resolution No. 18 shows that the organization of the apparatus according to 4 levels of Public Security " Ministry is refined, province is strong, district is comprehensive, commune is close to the grassroots" It is necessary to continue to adjust in the direction of reducing levels and intermediate levels to be more streamlined, compact, strong, operate effectively, efficiently, and serve the people better. Accordingly, the Central Party Committee of the Public Security and the Ministry of Public Security have reported and received approval from the Politburo and the Central Executive Committee on the policy of rearranging the 4-level Public Security model into 3 levels. For the local Public Security , the motto "strong province, comprehensive district, grassroots commune" should be adjusted to "comprehensive province; strong commune, grassroots" ; Provincial police comprehensively resolve all security and order situations in the locality; Commune police are strengthened and built firmly, closely following the grassroots, resolving arising security and order issues right from the start and at the grassroots.
When the District Police are not organized, the activities of 694 District Police and about 5,916 District Police Teams will end. The arrangement and consolidation of the local Police apparatus aims to change the operating mechanism, reduce the hierarchy to improve the quality, effectiveness, efficiency of work, and quality of service to the people. Carry out the arrangement and rearrangement of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the direction of mobilizing, assigning, and strengthening appropriate officers at the Provincial Police and Commune Police, in which priority is given to arranging and strengthening officers at the Commune Police, especially in areas with large areas, large populations, complicated security and order, difficult areas, remote areas. The policy of the Politburo is to maintain and ensure the staffing of the armed forces in the process of arranging the apparatus to meet the requirements and tasks in the new period; The Ministry of Public Security has received additional tasks from ministries and branches, so it does not encourage officers and soldiers to retire before their service age. At the same time, it is still actively streamlining the payroll for cases of poor qualities and abilities.
What criteria and tools will be used to measure staff capacity and work management effectiveness? What are the predicted difficulties and obstacles?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: The capacity of officials and work efficiency are measured by the quality and effectiveness of security and order assurance work; and people's satisfaction in implementing administrative procedures on security and order. In particular, with the new organizational model, national security will be firmly consolidated in all areas and fields, resolving all potential complex factors early, remotely, and from the grassroots level; crime will be reduced sustainably; people will live peacefully and happily in an increasingly orderly, disciplined, safe, and healthy society with increasingly improved quality of service to the people.
In the process of summarizing and proposing the policy of arranging the 3-level Police, the tasks were thoroughly assessed, carefully calculated and adjusted to ensure clarity, synchronization, continuity, no interruption of work, no vacancy in areas and fields, no omissions or loss of tasks. Along with promoting digital transformation, reforming administrative procedures in the Police sector and continuing to advise and promote the strong implementation of Project No. 06 in the direction of "promoting the reduction and elimination of unnecessary administrative procedures, changing the state of public service provision from "asking - giving" to "proactively" serving people and businesses; improving the quality of online public services throughout the process towards personalized digital services, regardless of administrative boundaries" , with regular guidance and professional direction from the Provincial and Ministry-level Police for the commune level, there will basically be no significant difficulties or problems.
Minister, could you please tell us about the management, exploitation and use of public assets, data management of district-level police and the plan for arranging and deploying staff, both to ensure regulations and quality of work, and to prevent corruption, waste and negativity?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: The facilities, headquarters, and vehicles of the district-level police in the past continued to be strictly managed, in accordance with the regulations of the State and the Ministry of Public Security; the Ministry has had a regulatory plan to ensure compliance with the new organizational model and orientation of force deployment in the area, meeting requirements and tasks.
Regarding the arrangement, assignment, and transfer of cadres when there is no district-level police force and the reception of cadres from ministries and branches, the Central Public Security Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security have thoroughly discussed and agreed on policies, principles, and plans as a basis for the Public Security of units and localities to develop specific plans and organize implementation to ensure compliance with the principles of democratic centralism, promote the responsibility of leaders, publicity, transparency, and objectivity, on the basis of correctly assessing cadres according to regulations and specific cadre work requirements; strictly prohibiting the use of policies for corruption and negativity; at the same time, directing the strengthening of inspection, supervision, and prevention of violations.
Party committees and organizations in the People's Public Security have done a good job in political and ideological work, creating unity of awareness and determination in the entire force in arranging and streamlining the apparatus to operate effectively, efficiently and effectively. The vast majority of cadres have strong political will, are confident in their work, and agree to support the policy of innovation and reorganization of the Ministry of Public Security, contributing to improving the quality of security and order assurance work in the new situation.
How will inter-sectoral coordination in internal affairs (Court, Procuracy) be conducted when there is no district-level police force? What is the roadmap for synchronously amending legal documents to ensure smooth work? What substantial changes will there be in the reception of functions and tasks from some other ministries and branches, such as the judicial records section of the Ministry of Justice, or Mobifone enterprise, network information security from the Ministry of Information and Communications... to avoid bloating the apparatus at the Ministry of Public Security after streamlining in other ministries and branches?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: The Ministry of Public Security has coordinated with the Supreme People's Procuracy and the Supreme People's Court to study and develop a Joint Circular regulating coordination between competent agencies in criminal proceedings, management, temporary detention, temporary imprisonment and execution of criminal sentences when there is no district-level police organization. In particular, it has comprehensively resolved issues in the coordination relationship on investigation, temporary detention, temporary imprisonment and execution of criminal sentences between the investigation agency and the People's Procuracy and the People's Court at the local level.
At the same time, we have proactively and urgently reviewed the entire system of relevant legal documents and have proposed amendments and supplements to meet work requirements immediately after the reorganization, ensuring legal consistency and not creating legal gaps that disrupt the normal operations of the police force as well as agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals. In the immediate future, we will apply the National Assembly's Resolution to handle the content related to the reorganization of the apparatus; next, we will proactively advise the Government and the National Assembly to issue appropriate amendments and supplements.
Taking over the functions and tasks of a number of other ministries and branches actually creates cohesion and connectivity, overcoming the situation of separation, a task previously undertaken by many agencies, reducing coordination mechanisms (for example, the judicial records section of the Ministry of Justice was previously coordinated by the Professional Records force of the Ministry of Public Security), improving the quality of work and efficiency of serving the people.
Dear Minister, public opinion is very interested in the question of which functions and tasks of the district-level police will be transferred to the province after the district-level police are no longer arranged; which functions and tasks will be transferred to the commune so that people know what to do and where to resolve, especially in the administrative field and cases related to prosecution, investigation, detention, trial, execution of sentences...? According to the Minister, how will the digital transformation era in the organization of the police force when the district-level police are no longer organized be closely linked to the philosophy of social management, building an apparatus close to the people, serving the people with maximum efficiency ?
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang: The Ministry of Public Security has a specific plan for the functions and tasks of serving the people, and will publicly, widely, in detail, and specifically announce to the people before the implementation of the new organizational model, absolutely not to have negative impacts and ensuring the highest convenience for people to solve related issues. Organizing the Public Security apparatus without organizing the District-level Police will create the highest efficiency, effectiveness, and efficiency, best serve the people, create maximum convenience for national development, firmly ensure security and order, consolidate a safe and healthy environment, and contribute to creating new breakthroughs for the country in the digital transformation era./.
