On September 17th, the PPA in cooperation with the Department of Anti-drug
Crime of the Ministry of Public Security held the Workshop: “Mass mobilization in prevention and fight against drug-related crime - Theory
and Practice” co-chaired by Senior Colonel, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thien Phu,
Vice President of the PPA and Senior Colonel Pham Van Chinh, Deputy Director of
Anti-drug Crimes Police Department. Several scientists, leaders of functional
units inside and outside the PPA as well as students of specialty of
drug-related crime of the PPA were invited to attend the Workshop.
To implement effectively the fight
against this crime, the Public Security Force in general and anti-drug crime
police Force in particular have used a combination of professional measures;
among them, mass mobilization is defined as the basic, strategic and important
one. However, at present, this measure has many theoretical and practical
problems which need to be researched in order to promote its efficiency and
optimization.
