Ca Mau hosts first provincial competition for local security forces

Ca Mau province recently concluded its inaugural provincial competition for local security and order protection forces, an event designed to assess training effectiveness and boost the practical skills of its members. The competition, held on July 7, featured realistic scenarios to test participants' abilities in handling emerging issues.

According to the organizing committee, this was the first such competition held nationwide. In Ca Mau, the event served not only as an evaluation of training but also as a platform for these forces to exchange knowledge, improve their understanding of the law, and enhance their professional skills. It specifically aimed to improve their capacity to manage on-the-ground situations.

This competition is not only an opportunity to evaluate training and development results but also creates a chance for the forces participating in security and order protection at the grassroots level to exchange, improve legal knowledge, professional skills, and the ability to handle emerging situations in the area.

Lam Van Bi, Vice Chairman of the Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee, noted that the Law on Forces Participating in Local Security and Order Protection, effective July 1, 2024, provides a legal framework for consolidating these forces. He emphasized their crucial role as a core support unit for commune-level police, particularly in a geographically challenging province like Ca Mau with its dispersed population and numerous waterways.

This is a core force supporting the commune-level police, especially important for a large area with many canals and scattered populations like Ca Mau.

Colonel Nguyen Phuc Cuong, Deputy Director of the Ca Mau Provincial Police, reported that the competition's three segments, talent, knowledge, and situation handling, closely mirrored real-world challenges.
