Bring policies closer to the people.

Policy communication is an activity that both ensures the people's right to self-governance and strengthens their trust in the Party and the State. It is also a crucial step in perfecting the institutional framework – one of the three strategic breakthroughs outlined by the 13th National Congress – and has a profound impact on police work and social life.

A bridge connecting policies to the people.

Over the past period, the Ca Mau Provincial Police have proactively advised the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee to direct departments, agencies, and localities to strengthen the dissemination and thorough understanding of policies and laws on security and order. Notably, this includes the implementation of the Government's Project on "Organizing communication on policies with significant social impact during the process of drafting legal documents in the period 2022-2027" and Prime Minister's Directive No. 12 on propaganda and media orientation serving the task of national defense .

The provincial police force is promoting the core role of grassroots police in disseminating and educating the public about the law, contributing to the prevention and fight against crime and violations of the law.

Policy communication has become a bridge bringing the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws and regulations closer to the people. To improve effectiveness, the Provincial Police regularly organizes training courses to enhance skills and expertise in disseminating and educating the public on the law. This involves mobilizing the people to abide by the law at the grassroots level for police officers and soldiers of all units, especially at the commune level. Through this, each officer and soldier becomes an active propagandist, contributing to raising awareness of law compliance in the community and building a socialist rule of law state.

Colonel Tran Van Thi, Deputy Director of the Provincial Police, stated: “Over the years, the Provincial Police have actively advised the Provincial People's Committee to effectively implement the Project 'Improving the effectiveness of legal dissemination and education associated with mobilizing the people to comply with the law at the grassroots level by the People's Police force in the period 2021-2027'. Along with that, we have promoted the core role of the grassroots police force in disseminating legal information and mobilizing people to actively participate in crime prevention and control, thereby creating a clear change in the awareness and actions of the people.”

The Ca Mau Provincial Police regularly organizes workshops and conferences to disseminate and publicize laws drafted under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security.

Simultaneously, policy communication efforts have effectively implemented Resolution No. 09 of the Central Party Committee of the Public Security Ministry on continuing to improve the law on security and order until 2026, with a vision to 2030. The Provincial Public Security Department has organized numerous seminars and conferences to gather public opinions, while regularly reviewing, supplementing, and issuing regulations and work procedures, including a handbook of 119 procedures and regulations for uniform application by units and localities.

In particular, the Provincial Police Department has developed and maintained the "Ca Mau Security" program, broadcast regularly on newspapers, radio, television, and the Provincial Police Department's website. Over the past five years, there have been 400 broadcasts, more than 6,000 news articles and reports published, and over 5,000 journalistic works and documentaries produced in collaboration with central and local media agencies. As a result, the image of Ca Mau police officers has been increasingly disseminated, closely associated with Party building, force building, crime prevention and control, and the dissemination of laws to the people.

Innovating policy communication

In the context of rapidly developing digital technology, policy communication faces both many advantages and numerous challenges. The risk of fake news and harmful information on social media overshadowing official information; the phenomenon of social media becoming like a newspaper; and issues related to information security and system safety... all pose new demands on communication orientation and management.

Through policy communication, the enthusiasm and wisdom of the people were mobilized in the 2013 constitutional amendment process via the VNeID application.

To meet this requirement, the Ca Mau Provincial Police Department has determined that it needs to continue innovating and improving the quality of policy communication, focusing on education and raising awareness of the role of this work throughout the entire force. The Director of the Provincial Police Department instructed units and localities to strengthen the innovation of methods, ensuring the following elements: "quick response, sharpness, accuracy, humanity, reliability, and timeliness," in order to promptly critique and guide public opinion.

The provincial police also proactively coordinate closely with press and media agencies, strengthening the provision of official information, resolutely combating and refuting false viewpoints, handling fake news and harmful information, and firmly protecting the ideological foundation of the Party and the policies and laws of the State.

With the determination and efforts of the entire force, the policy communication work in disseminating and educating the public on the law by the Ca Mau Provincial Police will certainly continue to achieve many positive results, contributing to strengthening the people's trust and promoting democracy in building a socialist rule of law state "of the people, by the people, and for the people".
