MPS reviews criminal investigation work in Q3 2026

Member of the CPV Central Committee and Deputy Minister of Public Security Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Long, Head of the Ministry of Public Security’s Criminal Investigation Police Agency, chaired the conference.

During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2026, the People’s Public Security Forces comprehensively implemented all aspects of work, ensuring security and order and achieving many important results. All key security and order targets were met or exceeded, and national security was firmly maintained, preventing passive or surprising situations while social order crimes declined significantly. 

Meanwhile, the fight against corruption, waste and negative phenomena, as well as crimes related to drugs, online fraud and intellectual property, achieved positive outcomes.

At the conference, delegates from under-ministerial agencies and local police units focused on evaluating the situation and recent outcomes of criminal investigation work, clarified difficulties and obstacles encountered during task execution, and proposed solutions to enhance the quality and effectiveness of work in the coming period.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long praised police units nationwide, particularly the Criminal Investigation Police Force, for their efforts, determination and achievements in recent times. He also fundamentally agreed with the main groups of tasks and solutions outlined at the conference.

Emphasizing that the fourth quarter of 2026 is a crucial home-stretch period to complete the year's work targets, the Deputy Minister requested relevant under-ministerial agencies and local police units to try their best to achieve all set goals. He stressed that they should proactively grasp the situation, implement preventive and countermeasures against crime, and ensure security and order during the final months of the year and the 2027 Lunar New Year.

In addition, all relevant agencies and units should continue to enhance the quality and efficiency of receiving and processing reports and information on crimes; prepare necessary conditions to implement newly enacted laws; accelerate digital transformation and the application of science and technology in criminal investigation and prosecution; and synchronously implement measures to elevate the overall quality and effectiveness of investigation police work, meeting the requirements of tasks in the new situation.
