Hanoi Police on Sept. 30 hosted a seminar on sharing experiences in implementing breakthrough initiatives in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation in conjunction with the government’s Project 06.

The seminar focused on three areas: using science, technology and innovation as a foundation; comprehensive digital transformation as a mode of action; and leveraging population data, electronic identification and Project 06 services as a breakthrough.

Information security, cybersecurity and personal data protection were identified as requirements underpinning the entire process.

Hanoi pilots Smart Police system

According to Hanoi Police, since 2025 the force has issued, implemented and disseminated 142 documents related to digital transformation, following an approach that clearly defines the person responsible, task, timeline, deliverable, responsibility and authority.

By July 2026, nearly 5,000 AI-powered cameras had been put into operation on major roads and at key intersections.

Hanoi Police is also implementing a project involving more than 21,000 AI cameras to help maintain security and public order and address bottlenecks facing the city.

Since Sept. 2, Hanoi Police has been piloting the Hanoi Smart Police solution, which is intended to provide services for residents while supporting police command and operational management.

The combination of unmanned aerial vehicles, cameras and AI in monitoring traffic and urban order has also produced initial results.

Authorities have directly handled 131 violations identified through the system and referred another 1,873 cases for classification, assessment and completion of case files. The technology has also assisted in handling two traffic accidents and 38 cases of congestion and other incidents.

At the seminar, Ho Chi Minh City Police shared its experience in cleaning and enriching more than 3.8 million land records and verifying more than 4.9 million population records.

The city has issued more than 7.17 million level-2 electronic identification accounts, of which more than 6.84 million have been activated.

Hai Phong Police said it had standardized data on more than 1.38 million land plots, established 54 strategic data sources and introduced models using data and AI to prevent and detect cybercrime.

Notably, a “Social Media Listening” solution has initially helped automatically scan and analyze online content and identify signs of potential violations for officers to further verify and handle in accordance with regulations.

Concluding the seminar, Hanoi Police leaders stressed that the value of digital transformation should not be measured simply by the number of systems or technologies deployed, but by improvements in police effectiveness and the convenience and satisfaction experienced by residents.
