These events are of great importance both domestically and internationally and are a source of pride for the people of the city and the entire country.

To effectively carry out this campaign, the director of the Ho Chi Minh City Police asked each unit, leader, and officer to ensure thorough understanding of security and order situations early, from a distance, and at the grassroots level; proactively forecast the situation, targets, and related issues in each area and sector, thus providing timely advice to local Party committees and authorities to avoid being passive or caught off guard in any situation.

Nam also emphasized the need to conduct a special campaign combined with high-intensity crime prevention and suppression efforts, ensure that the high-intensity campaign, with specific objectives, a higher workload, and more decisive measures, targets the prevention and suppression of various crimes, particularly the five types of crime that still pose potential risks and have complex developments: drug-related crimes, black credit, street crimes, cybercrime, and crimes involving foreigners.

They were instructed to strengthen the management of security and public order, closely monitor conditional business sectors and establishments with potential criminal risks, and carry out effective patrols and inspections to proactively prevent, detect, and address crimes and violations.
