While the police forces resolutely attacked crimes and maintain public order and security, the security forces maintained national security and political stability, contributing to the country's socio-economic development and international integration.
Notably, relevant under-ministerial agencies and local police units deployed many drastic campaigns to stamp out crimes. As a result, the rate of criminal offenses decreased by 1.78% while 86.89% of criminal cases were solved, which is higher than that of the same period in 2020. Many serious cases were investigated and solved in a short time and numerous criminal gangs were destroyed over the three past months.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Ministry of Public Security also launched the National Database on Population and the system for producing, issuing, and managing e-ID cards.
