As one of the central wards of Vinh City, Trung Do has many key projects and important traffic routes. In recent times, the security situation in the area has been basically stable, no complicated incidents have occurred, and no security hotspots have been formed.for many years. However, there are still potential factors that affect local security and order.

In the face of the above situation, implementing the plans of the superiors as well as the resolutions and plans of the Ward People's Committee on the work of building a movement for the whole people to protect national security, Trung Do Ward has determined the key task to focus on directing in 2017 is to build a community camera system as a model in the movement for the whole people to protect national security to register for implementation. This is the first model to be implemented in Vinh City and Nghe An Province.

Trung Do Ward conducted a survey of installation locations, internet connection and power sources for cameras. Then, they were installed in key, sensitive and complicated areas and routes in terms of security and order. Currently, the ward has installed a server system including 2 screens at the ward police headquarters and 62/100 cameras in the community, reaching over 60%. It is expected that by the end of June, Trung Do Ward will complete as planned.

The camera system not only helps people feel more secure but also helps ward leaders promptly detect and handle risks of insecurity and disorder, creating favorable conditions for security agencies in handling, investigating and prosecuting if problems arise.

The Chairman of the City People's Committee suggested that after this conference, leaders of other units should learn and gain experience to promptly deploy this very practical model.
