Hanoi to “raise bar” for grassroots policeVietNamNet Bridge – The police chief’s position in Hanoi’s communes will be assigned to professional police officers instead of semi-professional ones, Ha Noi People’s Committee chairman Nguyen Duc Chung said on Tuesday. A police officer talks to residents in a rural area in Hanoi. Chung said this would not be a drastic change but a step-by-step effort to improve social order in rural communes. “We will not replace all commune-level police positions with professional ones, only the chief and deputy chief positions, depending on different localities. All 386 communes in the city are expected to have professional chief police officers by 2020.
