The most prominent is the situation of criminals, youths and teenagers using weapons and weapons to commit crimes, intentionally causing injury and disturbing public order; property theft, robbery and snatching still occur; drug crimes and social evils still have great potential; violations related to fireworks still occur frequently.

In addition, the situation of young people participating in traffic carrying more people than the prescribed number, not wearing helmets, not obeying traffic lights, weaving, speeding, recklessly overtaking, carrying weapons, illegal support tools on traffic routes is potentially complicated.

In particular, as the Lunar New Year approaches, the number of people and vehicles on traffic routes increases, people working far away return home for Tet, including criminals, posing more problems in ensuring security and order.

In order to strengthen drastic solutions, promptly detect and strictly handle crimes and law violations in the whole province, the Director of the Provincial Police Department issued Decision No. 373 on the Project to establish armed patrol teams to prevent and combat crimes and law violations on security and order (abbreviated as Working Group 373). In particular, the Provincial Police Department established 6 Working Groups 373; the Police of districts and towns established at least 2 Working Groups 373; and Vinh City Police Department alone established at least 3 Working Groups 373.

With the viewpoint: "Stay awake so people can sleep, stay on guard so people can have fun", for the peaceful and happy life of the people, in the immediate future, to strengthen the protection of the 2024 Lunar New Year, the Provincial Police Director decided to organize the deployment of a 30-day, night-time armed patrol peak period of Task Force 373, starting from January 22, 2024 (ie December 12, the year of Quy Mao) to February 22, 2024 (ie January 13, the year of Giap Thin).

The Provincial Police leaders requested that officers participating in Working Group 373 must always uphold a sense of responsibility, maintain a proper demeanor, be calm, behave flexibly, strictly comply with the law and the People's Police Regulations. When interacting with the people and those who have violated the law, they must have a proper and appropriate demeanor, attitude, and culture of behavior.

During the performance of their duties, all members of Team 373 must always be vigilant, make good judgments about the situation; promptly detect potential bad situations in order to proactively prepare plans and coordinate to handle them promptly and effectively; not be passive, surprised, or have loopholes or shortcomings that create excuses for bad elements to take advantage of, obstruct, oppose, or distort and slander, affecting the image and reputation of the police force.

In cases of obstructing, resisting law enforcement officers, disturbing public order... it is necessary to concentrate forces to prevent, suppress, arrest and strictly handle according to the provisions of the law. In particular, comrades must pay attention to ensuring absolute safety for the task force and the people during the process of checking, arresting and handling subjects.
