The 5th national conference of heads of public security substations was held at the April 25 House of Culture from April 30 to May 1.

The conference reviewed the work of more than ten years since the fourth conference was held and discussed concrete ways for bringing about a revolutionary turn in the overall work of public security by radically improving the work of substations, immediate combat units of public security organs and main bases for defending the people.

Present there were Kim Hyong Sik, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Ri Thae Sop, minister of Public Security, Sim Hong Bin, director of the Political Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, all the heads of public security substations and model public security persons from across the country, leading officials of provincial, city and county security organs, and other officials related to the work of public security substations.

Ri Thae Sop made a report at the conference.

He said that the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un clarified the unique idea of building public security grounded in the Party’s view on the masses and the people and clearly indicated the principles and fighting strategies to be maintained in the public security work in each period of the developing revolution.

Noting that the strengthening of public security substations means strengthening of public security organs, Kim Jong Un saw to it that the 4th national conference of heads of public security substations was held as the first meeting in the public security sector in the new century of the Juche era and energetically led security officials to dynamically wage the law enforcement activities for defending the political security of the socialist country and the happiness of the people, the reporter stressed.

He referred to the successes made in applying the Party’s policy on public security to the work of public security substations and the good deeds done by security officials in the work for defending the socialist system and the lives and property of the people.

He seriously reviewed the deviations that should be overcome without fail in the work of the substations, after saying that it is the Party’s intention and urgent requirement of the revolution to learn lessons even from successes, boldly recognize the shortcomings and make strenuous efforts with fresh readiness and will.

In order to fulfill the important mission and duty assigned by the Party and the revolution, the public security organs should enhance in every way the function and role of the public security substations, advanced bases of the work for public security, and a revolutionary turn in the work should be brought about by the change of the appearance, working spirit and mode of activities of the substations, he noted.

The general task facing the substations at present is to make all of them groups of faithful servants making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people so as to defend the political security of the socialist country and the happiness of the people, he said.

For the public security officials, loyalty and patriotism are devoted and self-sacrificing efforts to dedicate their blood, flesh and lives to protecting the people without hesitation, he noted, calling on all of them to regard the Party’s policy on public security as their firm faith and make selfless, devoted efforts for their great state and people, the political security of the socialist country and the happiness of the people.
