The Hanoi Police Department has issued Plan No. 83/KH-CAHN-ANKT to inspect compliance with laws by organisations and individuals engaged in business in the city. The initiative is intended to tighten state management of public order and safety while helping remove difficulties for businesses.
Following a directive from the Ministry of Public Security, Hanoi Police have launched a broad inspection plan for 2026 covering businesses, business households, and individuals conducting business. The main objective is to comprehensively assess legal compliance within the police’s remit of public security management.
Authorities said the inspection process will promptly identify gaps and shortcomings in management for rectification, and that violations will be strictly handled to ensure the rule of law, create a fair business environment, and strengthen public trust.
Hanoi Police expect to inspect 9,960 enterprises, business households, and individuals in 2026.
Under the plan, inspections are expected to be carried out across the city in Q2 2026, with the same target of 9,960 entities.
Alongside inspections, the police stated they will accompany and support businesses. The inspection team will listen to and resolve legal obstacles and difficulties affecting production and business activities, contributing to improving Hanoi’s investment climate (PCI) and supporting business operations with sustainable confidence.
The police also emphasised that the process must be conducted with proper authority and in a transparent, efficient manner. City police leadership instructed inspectors to avoid harassment or unnecessary obstacles to normal business activities.
To maximise effectiveness, Hanoi Police said they have strengthened advisory roles and policy coordination with local authorities and related management agencies, while tightening discipline and preventing misuse of inspections to hinder businesses.
