BEIJING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on the country's police officers to remain committed to serving the people, be loyal guardians of the Party and the people, and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and dedication.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a reply letter to a primary-level police force from Zhangzhou, east China's Fujian Province.

In his letter to the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit, Xi lauded its police officers for their dedication and hard work at the grassroots level in serving the public and maintaining social stability for the people.

He emphasized that the police bear the important responsibility of safeguarding the people's well-being and the country's peace, calling on Chinese police to uphold fine traditions, devote themselves to wholeheartedly addressing the needs and concerns of the people, and work diligently to protect the safety of the public.

The "Zhangzhou 110" unit is one of the exemplary primary-level units within China's police forces. Since 1990, it has pioneered and continuously improved a rapid response mechanism tied to the 110 police emergency call service, playing a significant role in combating crime, maintaining public security, and serving the community.

During his tenure in Fujian, Xi visited the police unit three times to inspect and guide its work. Recently, members of the unit wrote to Xi, reporting on their work and expressing their determination to fulfill duties on the new journey.
