Hanoi City Police have issued Plan No. 83/KH-CAHN-ANKT to inspect compliance with laws by organizations and individuals conducting business in the city. The operation, scheduled for the second quarter of 2026, is intended to tighten state management over public security, order, and safety while supporting businesses in removing difficulties.
Under the direction of the Ministry of Public Security, Hanoi Police are implementing a broad inspection plan for businesses, business households, and individual business operators in 2026. The stated objective is to comprehensively assess compliance with legal provisions within the scope of state management assigned to the police force.
Through the inspections, authorities aim to promptly identify gaps and shortcomings in management for correction. Hanoi City Police said they will strictly handle violations to uphold the supremacy of the law, help create a fair business environment, and strengthen public trust.
Alongside checks, the inspection plan emphasizes accompanying the business community. Inspection teams are tasked with listening to businesses and resolving legal obstacles and difficulties affecting production and business activities.
The police said this approach is expected to contribute to improving the capital’s investment environment index (PCI), supporting business facilities to develop sustainably.
The inspection process is required to be carried out within authority and in accordance with regulations and procedures, ensuring transparency and efficiency. City leaders also directed that inspections must not involve harassment or causing nuisance, and must not disrupt normal business operations.
To maximize effectiveness, Hanoi City Police have strengthened guidance and promoted the role of party committees, local authorities, and related management agencies. The police also said they are tightening discipline in executing duties and proactively preventing and deterring acts that use inspections to create difficulties for enterprises.
Under the plan, in Q2/2026 Hanoi City Police are expected to inspect 9,960 enterprises, business households, and individual business operators across the entire city.
