Over the past 80 years, together with the People's Public Security Force nationwide, Son La police have made particularly significant contributions to the struggle for national independence and freedom, as well as to the cause of national construction and defence. Upholding its proud tradition, they have remained proactive and flexible in carrying out their duties, helping maintain political stability, safeguard national security, and support the province's socio-economic development.

Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Dinh Viet speaks at the ceremony.

Speaking at the ceremony, Viet congratulated and commended the achievements and outstanding accomplishments of the provincial public security force over the years. He also expressed his deep appreciation to generations of leaders, officers, and personnel who have served in the force. 

He urged the force to continue providing effective advice in resolving complex issues at the grassroots level, preventing the emergence of security and public order "hotspots." 

He also called for the synchronised implementation of professional operational and technical measures, the promotion of administrative reform, mastery of science and technology, pioneering role in digital transformation, and stronger efforts to prevent and combat high-tech crime while ensuring information security and confidentiality to meet the requirements of the new era.
