General Quang made the request during a conference held by the Hanoi Department of Public Security on January 6 to sum up the department’s performance in 2014 and devise a working plan for 2015.

He urged the force to consult the capital authorities regularly on measures to ensure security and order, particularly safety for important events in the capital and the country.

Speaking at the conference, Secretary of Hanoi Municipal Party Committee Pham Quang Nghi praised the efforts of the city’s public security force in ensuring political and social security. He asked the force to regularly launch campaigns against crimes, especially at public places, for a happy and safe Tet festival.

In 2014, the public security force worked closely with the capital’s agencies, authorities and people to ensure security and order, control crimes and prevent activities of criminal bands. Nearly 4,000 cases and over 5,700 criminal violations were detected and investigated while 1,236 criminal gangs were dismantled.

They thwarted those abusing patriotism to provoke protests and riots, particularly in industrial and processing zones, contributing to ensuring the capital’s business and investment environment.
