At the conference, Lieutenant General To An Xo, Chief of the MPS Office briefed delegates on results of building grassroots-level police forces over the past time, saying that the police of 63 provinces and cities have completed the posting of professional police officers to communes. 

On average, each commune or township has 5 commissioned police officers. Fact shows that the posting of professional police officers to communes and townships has contributed to local security, social order and safety as well as reducing numbers of crimes and law violation cases.

In addition, the communal-level police force has played a key role in preventing and controlling the COVID-19 pandemic as well as implementing the project to build the National Database on Population and the e-ID issuance project.
