He also encouraged members to actively join grassroots-level working fields, participate in local security and order teams, and multiply exemplary models of the “All People Protecting National Security” movement, saying that they should stay close to the people, grasp the situation in their localities and support local authorities and communal police units in accomplishing their tasks.

In addition, the Minister urged the association to further implement the “Public Security Veterans’ Comradeship Program,” while taking good care of retired public security officers facing difficulties or suffering from serious illnesses, adding that the association should report on special cases so the ministry can provide support the retire public security officers in particularly difficult circumstances on time.
