At the ceremony, through the screened report, delegates reviewed the outstanding results that Thanh Hoa Provincial Police have achieved in recent times.
Accordingly, in the work of protecting national security, with the motto "Proactive security, protecting security early, from afar, from the grassroots", Thanh Hoa Police have proactively grasped, analyzed, evaluated and forecasted the situation closely and accurately; synchronously and effectively deployed professional plans and schemes, well handled security issues on routes, fields, areas, and key targets, avoiding "passive", "sudden", "unexpected" situations and forming "hot spots", which have been repeatedly commended, rewarded and directed to be replicated by the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security and professional Departments.
Crime prevention and control work has been vigorously implemented. In 5 years, the provincial police have investigated and handled more than 8,600 cases, nearly 15,400 criminals; the rate of solving serious cases has reached over 96%.
Many criminal, economic, and drug gangs were completely destroyed; a series of production and trade lines of fake drugs, fake invoices, and illegal resource exploitation were eliminated.
In particular, the peak periods of attacks and crime suppression associated with major events in 2025 have brought practical peace to the people.
In addition, the effectiveness of state management of security and order has been increasingly improved. Thanh Hoa is the first locality in the country to issue a policy of exempting all fees and charges for people and businesses when carrying out administrative procedures issued by the Provincial People's Council through the Online Public Service Portal. Hundreds of thousands of records, driver's licenses, judicial, civil... have been resolved quickly, transparently and effectively.
The provincial police also proactively coordinated to effectively implement the two-level local government model; supported the identification of DNA of unidentified martyrs; and enhanced the digitization of professional records to better serve combat operations.
On the front line of the fight against drugs - the dangerous and fierce front line, the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police has demonstrated its bravery, intelligence and courage. With the initiative of "3-layer defense line" - blocking supply from afar, reducing demand on the spot, the unit has built a solid security posture from the border to the interior.
As a result, from 2020 to present, the force has arrested more than 3,670 cases, over 6,450 subjects, seized nearly 92.4 kg of heroin, 235 kg of synthetic drugs; dozens of guns, grenades and more than 2,000 subjects organizing, buying, selling and illegally using drugs have been handled.
Not only fighting on the traditional battlefield, the unit also promptly identified and destroyed newly emerging drug lines such as laughing gas (N2O). In the first months of 2025 alone, the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department destroyed 2 major lines, seized nearly 17.3 tons of finished N2O gas, more than 180 tons of raw materials, 4 production lines and identified transactions worth more than 1,000 billion VND/year.
With these outstanding achievements, on April 28, 2025, the President signed a decision to confer the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces on the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department. This is a noble award, recognizing the sacrifice, dedication and persistent fighting of the unit for many years.
Up to now, Thanh Hoa Police have received the Emulation Flag from the Government and the Ministry of Public Security for 4 consecutive years; nearly 12,000 collectives and individuals have been awarded. In the province, the movement of All People Protecting National Security continues to spread with more than 1,300 effective models of operation, replicated nationwide.
The achievements of Thanh Hoa Provincial Police and the noble title of the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department have just been achieved with special significance when the entire People's Police force is striving to compete to achieve results to welcome the great anniversaries of the country and the industry, especially to welcome the Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party, adding more color to the glorious traditional flag of the heroic Thanh Hoa Police, worthy of being a steel shield to protect the Party, government and people, contributing to building a peaceful and developed homeland and country.
