The national police also contributed significantly in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, he stated.
The vice president advised the national police to maintain and improve its work performance and provide best services to the public.
"Prioritize transparency, objectivity, and professionalism, which I abbreviate as TOP," he noted.
