Public security is the function of governments which ensures the protection of citizens, organizations, and institutions against threats to their well-being – and to the prosperity of their communities.
In Vietnam, the secret police are euphemistically titled "Public security".

They optimise their internal structures, use synergies, and carefully balance costs and benefits of their measures.

“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted.
