Each officer and soldier needs to be absolutely loyal to the Party, the Fatherland and the People, always devoted, serving, maintaining political courage, revolutionary ethics, integrity and being ready to sacrifice for the cause of protecting national security, ensuring social order and safety.
The publishing of the book will become an important learning and research document, effectively serving the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws on the task of protecting national security, ensuring social order and safety, and at the same time being a reference handbook for Party committees at all levels in the People's Public Security Forces.
