Ensuring security and order in the maritime border region.

With over 310 km of coastline and three sides bordered by the sea, Ca Mau holds a strategically important position in terms of national defense and security. In recent years, the Provincial Border Guard has played the role of a "steel shield," proactively coordinating with other forces to maintain security and order, and firmly protect the sovereignty of the southernmost sea region of the Fatherland.

Proactively combat and prevent crime.

The security situation along the coast remains complex, especially with drug trafficking and human trafficking crimes employing increasingly sophisticated methods. In response to this reality, the Ca Mau Border Guard Command is strengthening the comprehensive implementation of operational measures, both independently and in close coordination with other armed forces, to maintain security and order.

Over the past 10 years, the forces have conducted over 450 joint patrols, with 550 officers and soldiers participating. Through these patrols, they have detected and handled 45 cases involving 56 individuals related to drug offenses, theft, gambling, murder, and intentional injury. The forces have also processed over 1,000 administrative violation cases, collecting over 25 billion VND for the State budget.

Major Le Vu Khanh, Deputy Commander of Song Doc Border Guard Station, deployed the task of coordinating with three forces to strengthen patrol work along the border line.

In the Song Doc estuary area, a key location with a high density of vessels, control measures are always strictly enforced. The Song Doc Border Guard Station proactively monitors the area, develops specialized plans, and implements intensive campaigns to combat crime, contributing to maintaining security and order and creating favorable conditions for fishermen to confidently venture out to sea.

Major Le Vu Khanh, Deputy Commander of Song Doc Border Guard Station, said: “Identifying crime prevention and control as a key task, the unit always maintains its determination and resolve to ensure security and order in the area. Specifically, for independent operations, the Station Command has proactively developed specialized plans and implemented comprehensive measures to manage and protect the border. We focus on thoroughly understanding the local situation and related individuals, thereby developing effective plans for high-intensity campaigns to combat various types of crime. Maintaining security and order not only protects sovereignty but also creates a favorable environment for the locality to confidently develop its socio-economic activities.”

The three forces (Police, Military, and Border Guard) coordinate their efforts in patrolling the border line.

At sea, Border Guard Squadron 2 (under the Ca Mau Border Guard Command) also intensified patrol activities, both to strengthen the fight against various types of crime and to carry out a high-intensity campaign against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Major Dang Van Vu, Political Officer of Border Guard Squadron 2, reported: “From the beginning of 2026 until now, the unit has proactively developed 8 plans, mobilized 8 patrol teams with 16 vessels and 70 officers to participate in patrols and control at sea. The focus is on the peak period of combating crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling and commercial fraud in the maritime border area during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year). At the same time, we maintain constant communication with fishermen to promptly inform them of weather conditions and are ready for rescue operations. As a result, from the beginning of the year until now, through patrols, the unit has detected and handled 5 administrative violations involving 5 vessels, collecting 20 million VND for the state budget.”

Coordination to maintain security along the entire route.

In addition to independent patrols and controls along the entire border of the province, border guard posts also coordinate with local armed forces such as the police and military to ensure security and order along the entire border. Accordingly, patrols and controls are maintained regularly, and the fight against various types of crime is effectively promoted. Particularly, territorial management and monitoring of individuals are enhanced, improving the effectiveness of surveillance of people and vehicles entering and leaving the border area, proactively identifying risks "early and from afar" to promptly detect and handle violations of laws and regulations protecting the area.

The crew of Border Guard Squadron 2 is ready to carry out patrol and control duties at sea.

Major Tu Tuan Anh, Deputy Head of Song Doc Commune Police, shared: “In 2026, the three forces (Police, Military, and Border Guard) closely coordinated in gathering and sharing information on the local situation and strengthening border patrols and control. We promptly detected and strictly managed individuals under professional and legal supervision. In addition, the forces also coordinated to ensure the absolute safety of key construction projects as well as major national and local holidays and anniversaries, contributing to ensuring security and order along the entire border.”

Border Guard Squadron 2 is protecting the Nghinh Ông Festival in Gành Hào commune.

Maintaining effective coordinated patrols not only contributes to safeguarding security and order and political stability in the coastal border region, but also serves as a solid foundation for promoting local socio-economic development. Especially during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year), coordinated patrols to protect the area are always implemented rigorously. This acts as a "steel shield" protecting security and order along the entire border, providing a foundation for peace and development in the Ca Mau border region.
