People's Public Security Force. |
In early 1948, the 2nd National Public Security Conference was held in Tuyen Quang. The conference launched the emulation movement "Training cadres, making achievements" in the entire Public Security force.
After attending the 2nd National Public Security Conference, Mr. Hoang Mai, Director of the Police Department of Zone XII, wrote a letter to President Ho Chi Minh and presented him with the "Friend of the People" magazine, Tet Mau Ty issue (1948).
In the letter, Mr. Hoang Mai reported to Uncle Ho about the confidence, pride, and excitement of our army and people after the victory of the Autumn-Winter of 1947; at the same time, he wished to ask for Uncle Ho's guidance on the tasks, working methods, content of moral education, and working style for police officers; the principles, goals, and tasks that must be done by the police press. In response to that wish, on March 11, 1948, Uncle Ho sent a letter to the Director of the Police Department of Zone XII, in which he taught:
“… In the press, we need to regularly make our police officers clearly realize that our police are the people’s police, serving the people and relying on the people to work. Our people number in the tens of millions, with tens of millions of ears, eyes, hands, and feet. If we know how to rely on the people, everything will be done.
The newspaper must always remind us to practice moral character. The character of a revolutionary police officer is:
For yourself, you must be frugal, honest, and upright.
For colleagues, must be friendly and helpful.
To the Government, must be absolutely loyal.
For the people, must respect, polite.
For work, must be dedicated.
To deal with the enemy, one must be resolute and clever.
The brief and concise contents in Uncle Ho's letter to the Director of the Police Department of Zone XII, especially the Six Things Uncle Ho taught the People's Public Security, comprehensively summarized the image of a revolutionary police officer with typical yet very ordinary qualities, living with pure ideals, having a firm ideological stance, having the mettle and will to attack the revolution, being absolutely loyal to the Party, to the Fatherland, to the people, to the revolutionary cause; ready to fight and sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
Over the past 75 years, Uncle Ho's Six Teachings on "The Qualities of a Revolutionary Policeman" still retain their value and are always deeply relevant, especially at a time when our entire Party, army and people are implementing the Central Resolutions on Party building and rectification; preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party; Directive 05 of the Politburo on promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics and lifestyle./.
