Accordingly, the festival, co-organized by the Ministry of Public Security and Japanese Newspaper Mainichi, will feature outdoor performances by four art groups – police from Tokyo, Seoul, New York and Vietnam.
It will also include parades around the Sword Lake and the Ly Thai To Park, and a performance at the Hanoi Opera House on Oct 24.
The festival aims to enhance cooperation between Vietnamese police and their counterparts in other countries to maintain security and prevent crime.
Since 1996, the annual event has been held in several countries including the UK, France, Germany, Japan, China, and Singapore.
The 15th World Police Music Festival took place in New York last December.
