Proposal to expand the authority to issue criminal records to commune-level police

Regarding the classification of Criminal Records, delegate Vu Hong Luyen ( Hung Yen Delegation) pointed out the fact that many agencies abuse the requirement for people to submit Criminal Records No. 2, which includes the cleared criminal record, affecting their reintegration into the community. Therefore, the delegate proposed to consider issuing only one type of certificate to individuals, without distinguishing between Certificates No. 1 and No. 2.

Giving comments to complete the draft Law, delegate Nguyen Van Quan (Can Tho City Delegation) proposed to expand the authority to issue Criminal Records Certificates to commune-level police to facilitate people's implementation and also in line with the spirit of Directive No. 23 of the Prime Minister on promoting administrative procedure reform, creating favorable conditions for people and businesses.

The delegate raised the issue: In the current two-level local government organization, if people have to go to the provincial or city police center to get their criminal records, many localities are very far away. Currently, the databases have been connected. "Perhaps we can consider upgrading the facilities of communes and wards to gradually implement this procedure for people at the commune level."

In that spirit, delegate Nguyen Van Quan suggested that the drafting agency consider and design a provision on the interconnection mechanism for relevant agencies to exploit data on criminal records through specialized databases of relevant agencies in performing administrative procedures without forcing people to submit Criminal Records.
