Speaking at the opening of the Congress, Senior Lieutenant General Le Quy Vuong said: Along with the development of the People's Public Security force over the past 78 years, the number of former People's Public Security officers has increased. Currently, according to statistics, there are about 110,000 former police officers, with an average increase of nearly 10,000 people each year.
The wish of most former police officers is to have a unified national organization to gather, unite and motivate generations of members.
Over the past many years, in response to the wishes of many retired police officers, the Central Party Committee of the Public Security and the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security have advocated and repeatedly reported to competent authorities to decide to allow the establishment of the Vietnam People's Police Veterans Association.
While the Association has not been established, to unify the organizational model and activities of the Retired Police Clubs, and at the same time further strengthen the leadership and direction of the Party Committee and the police leaders of units and localities for retired police activities.
On November 27, 2014, the Minister of Public Security issued Directive No. 15 on strengthening the leadership and direction of the police at all levels towards the Retired Police Club; in which, it was agreed to establish the Retired Police Club from the Central level to districts, towns, and provincial cities.
Senior Lieutenant General Le Quy Vuong affirmed: The establishment of the Vietnam People's Police Veterans Association is a great joy for police officers and soldiers in general and former police officers, especially retired police officers in particular.
In particular, this is a political event of great significance, marking a milestone in building a unified organization to gather, unite and motivate generations of former police officers.
Retired police officers, when they retire, have an organization to participate in activities, unite their comrades, and continue to preserve and promote the fine traditions and glorious traditions of the People's Public Security force.
