Crime prevention and suppression work has been vigorously implemented; the rate of investigations into crimes that violate social order is high (83.5%); many major economic and drug cases have been cleared, and a large amount of evidence has been seized.

However, the security and order situation still has complicated incidents such as some Catholic dignitaries continuing to preach and speak ill of the government; encroachment, land leveling, and illegal construction still occur.

Commercial fraud, counterfeit goods, violations related to food safety and hygiene, illegal drug trafficking, and firecrackers are on the rise.

State management of mining and resources in the area is still limited.

Progress in resolving some cases and lawsuits is still slow; illegal immigration of Mong people still occurs.

At the conference, delegates raised ideas to overcome shortcomings and limitations and effectively implement tasks in accordance with the actual situation in the coming time.

On that basis, the conference agreed on key tasks for January 2018, including some notable contents such as: Strengthening the work of grasping the situation, solving new problems arising from the grassroots; effectively implementing the peak period of attacking and suppressing crimes to ensure security and order before, during and after the Lunar New Year 2018.
