Maintain security.

Colonel Nguyen Phuc Cuong, Deputy Director of the Ca Mau Provincial Police, said that the two units have coordinated to focus on personnel review and ensure security for the organization of Party congresses at all levels; effectively implemented the peak period of preventing and combating illegal immigration and the 50-day peak period of issuing electronic identification for foreigners.

Officers from the Song Doc Border Guard Station exchanged information on the maritime border security situation in the area during a briefing meeting involving the three forces: police, military , and border guards.

Through coordinated efforts in managing the area, functional forces have monitored and managed over 40,700 foreign nationals visiting the locality; issued more than 1,000 permits to over 2,000 foreign nationals entering the maritime border area. At the same time, they detected and handled 33 cases of foreign nationals violating regulations, with a total fine of over 440 million VND.

In addition, the two forces intensified their efforts in mass mobilization, enlisting the support of religious leaders, officials, and influential figures among ethnic and religious communities to guide religious organizations to operate in accordance with the law; and proactively monitored the internal situation of Khmer temples in the area. Coordination in advising on and resolving disputes and complaints was implemented decisively, contributing to the stability of the local situation. To date, they have successfully resolved 15 disputes and complaints; persuaded two citizens who had filed complaints to higher levels (in Hanoi ) to return to their locality; and ensured security and order during the regular citizen reception sessions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee.

In the fight against crime, the Provincial Police closely coordinated with military and border guard forces to launch many intensive campaigns to attack and suppress crime, especially in coastal and maritime border areas. Through these efforts, they jointly detected, investigated, and handled over 150 cases involving more than 160 criminal offenders; dealt with over 280 cases of social vices involving more than 1,300 individuals; detected 65 drug-related crimes involving 90 individuals; and handled over 100 cases of economic and environmental violations involving 112 individuals.

Specifically, the forces coordinated the investigation, verification, and handling of 5 cases involving 5 individuals related to the illegal transportation of goods across the border and organizing illegal emigration. Of these, 3 cases with 4 defendants have been prosecuted; 2 cases with 1 individual are currently under investigation.

In Hiep Thanh ward, home to the Nha Mat estuary, Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Van Dung, Commander of the Nha Mat Border Guard Station, stated that the unit regularly coordinates with the police force to exchange information and promptly handle incidents related to political security and social order in the area. At the same time, they advise the local authorities on ensuring security in resolving land disputes and complaints; and support the construction of key projects such as wind power projects, 35 KV and 220 KV power lines, and housing projects.

From July 1, 2025 to the end of the first quarter of 2026, the unit spearheaded and coordinated the arrest and prosecution of one case involving one individual for the illegal possession of narcotics; and imposed administrative penalties in 27 cases involving 27 individuals and 28 vehicles, with a total fine amount exceeding 500 million VND.

Following the implementation of the two-tiered local government model, the increased deployment of regular police and military forces to the grassroots level has facilitated improved coordination among forces in the coastal border area. The Nha Mat Border Guard Post closely cooperates with local police and military forces to effectively implement national defense, security, and border defense tasks, ensuring uninterrupted management and protection of sovereignty and maintaining security and order in the coastal border region.

The unit has also intensified patrols and control of the area, strictly managing the movement of people and vehicles in and out of the maritime border area, especially the activities of foreign people and vehicles serving offshore wind power projects. Since the implementation of the new model, the unit has led and coordinated more than 100 patrols; maintaining regular briefings between the three forces: police, military, and border guards.

Synchronize solutions

Thanks to the synchronized, close, and effective coordination among forces, the political security situation and social order in the coastal border areas continue to be maintained stably, creating an important foundation for serving the development of the marine economy and ensuring national defense and security in the new situation.

The three forces—police, military, and border guards—coordinate patrols to ensure national defense and security, and maintain sovereignty over the maritime border.

Colonel Nguyen Phuc Cuong stated that the Provincial Police force will continue to closely coordinate with the Provincial Border Guard to advise the Party Committee and the government on the serious and effective implementation of Government Decree No. 03/2019/ND-CP on coordination between the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security in carrying out tasks of protecting national security, ensuring social order and safety, combating crime, and national defense. The two forces will continue to coordinate to closely monitor the situation, ensuring absolute safety for key targets, political events, and major holidays; proactively developing plans to ensure security and order along the coast and coastal areas. At the same time, they will focus on combating and reducing all types of crime, especially criminal, drug, economic, environmental, and smuggling crimes at sea; strengthening patrols and controls, and eradicating criminal gangs and social evils in the area.

In addition, immigration and emigration management, residence management, and the management of weapons, explosives, and support tools continue to be tightened. The two forces also proactively coordinate in disaster prevention and control, fire prevention and control, search and rescue; prevent early and remote violations of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and decisively resolve violations related to disconnecting, removing, and transporting vessel tracking devices, as well as illegal fishing in foreign waters.
