Within the framework of the conference, local representatives reported on the current situation of security and order protection forces at the grassroots level; the situation of preparation work for the implementation of the Law project, and solutions to implement all aspects of work to ensure progress and effectiveness when the Law comes into effect.

In his concluding remarks at the conference, General To Lam, Politburo member and Minister of Public Security, acknowledged the contributions of the civil defense force and part-time communal police over the past time. At the same time, he commended the urgent and drastic spirit of the units under the Ministry and the Public Security of provinces and cities who have proactively prepared well the conditions for implementing the Law on Security and Order Protection Forces at the grassroots level, and have so far completed a number of important tasks on schedule.

The Minister of Public Security affirmed that this is an important Law project, with the goal of establishing a new force on the basis of reorganizing the civil defense force, the semi-professional communal police force that is still in use, and the Civil Defense Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader, so there is a lot of work to be done.

Therefore, with the remaining time being very short until the Law comes into effect, along with continuing to promote the propaganda and dissemination of the Law on Forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level on the media, units and localities must uphold the spirit of responsibility and be determined in their actions to ensure good preparation of conditions and completion of tasks on schedule.
