Two commune-level police officers in Vietnam’s south-central Binh Dinh Province have been officially dismissed and stripped of their People’s Police title after testing positive for illegal drug use during a surprise inspection.
According to sources from Dan Tri newspaper, the Binh Dinh Provincial Police Department issued disciplinary decisions against the two officers, citing violations of both national law and internal police regulations.
One officer was stationed at Canh Hien Commune Police, and the other was serving at Canh Hoa Commune Police, both located in Van Canh District.
The disciplinary action follows a random drug test carried out by authorities as part of a broader internal campaign aimed at preventing and cracking down on drug abuse within the People’s Public Security Forces.
Provincial police authorities emphasized that the Ministry of Public Security has strict policies in place for detecting and addressing drug-related offenses among law enforcement personnel. Any confirmed instance of illegal drug use is met with immediate disciplinary measures, including expulsion from the force.
In addition to professional consequences, party disciplinary action is also underway. A senior official from the Van Canh District Party Committee confirmed receipt of the official notice from the provincial police and stated: “The Party Committee is currently implementing disciplinary procedures in accordance with Party regulations for the two Party members involved.”
This incident highlights the Vietnamese government’s ongoing commitment to upholding strict standards of conduct within the police force, particularly amid rising public concern over drug-related crimes and the integrity of law enforcement personnel.
