From 2024 to present, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation has forwarded 19 petitions with 15 cases. The Provincial Police have reviewed and handled them according to their authority or transferred them to competent authorities for settlement.

Some cases of crime denunciations handled by the District Police Investigation Agency have not been resolved completely, and the handling of information about crimes is temporarily suspended; some cases have been transferred to the provincial level (after reorganization), so the results have not been announced and the Provincial National Assembly Delegation has not yet been given a final response.

At the meeting, delegates also raised difficulties: classifying and processing petitions; pressure when the number of cases under provincial authority increased sharply after organizational adjustments; and limited capacity to advise on handling petitions at some commune-level police stations.
