Ho Chi Minh City Police are piloting a commune-level public security model to help maintain urban order across multiple locations, including the Con Dao Special Zone, Thanh An Commune, Cau Ong Lanh Ward, and several areas in Vung Tau and Binh Duong, starting in mid-March this year.
Lt. Col. Vo Hong Bao, Deputy Head of the Administration Police for Social Order, Ho Chi Minh City Police, shared the initial results at a press briefing on the afternoon of April 9, alongside updates on the city’s economic and social situation.
The pilot is implemented under Directive 09-CT/TU dated March 4, 2026 by the Standing Board of the City Party Committee, and Plan 53/KH-UBND dated February 6, 2026 by the City People’s Committee on strengthening urban order management.
After nearly a month of implementation, the City Police reviewed and assessed public order conditions and identified areas requiring transformation, including 22 streets, 6 hospitals, 21 schools, and 12 informal markets. The pilot sites have shown initial positive changes and, overall, have broadly met the set criteria.
Improvements have been reported in encroachments on roads and sidewalks, informal markets, and illegal parking in several areas, including Tran Hung Dao, Tran Dinh X, and Nguyen Cu Trinh (Cau Ong Lan Ward); Ben Dinh Market and Co Giang Market (Vung Tau Ward); and Huynh Van Luy and Vo Nguyen Giap (Binh Duong Ward). Roads in the Con Dao Special Zone and Thanh An Commune are generally compliant.
According to the City Police, during the implementation period, most residents complied with regulations. Coordination among different levels and sectors has been strengthened, and violations have mainly been addressed among habitual offenders and those not complying.
The City Police also established task forces to film, detect, and handle public order violations, processing 125 cases. The use of cameras has preliminarily proven effective, and residents have been encouraged to provide information to support enforcement.
Lt. Col. Vo Hong Bao said that after three months of piloting, the City Police will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and classify results by locality characteristics, providing a basis for the City People’s Committee to consider broader adoption of the model.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
