An issue not only for the sake of its philatelic treasure, but above all as an expression of high social esteem for the sons and daughters of the people, who have made a significant contribution to the consolidation of the socialist state and social order in the ranks of the German People's Police. The leadership of the Marxist-Leninist party was the pledge that the German People's Police on their anniversary can report about their in two and a half decades honored class assignment. The design of the developed social system of socialism places new demands on the activities of the police, traffic police, criminals, transport police and members of the other organs of the Ministry of the Interior. The Law on the Duties and Powers of the German People's Police, founded by the Minister of the Interior in front of the People's Chamber in June 1968, postulates the principle: "The German People's Police make a significant contribution to the people by their work, united and supported by the confidence of the people further development and consolidation of socialist legality, justice and legal certainty as well as the formation of the socialist human community. " A transport police officer on the grounds of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (20 penny), equipped with a radio, recalls the days of last winter as the members of the organs of the Ministry of the Interior, together with their comrades of the National People's Army and the Soviet Army, set up the snow and ice masses Rail tracks and helped to solve more than a complicated transport situation helped. In this sense, the members of the German People's Police acted from its foundation until today, since they can celebrate their day of honor as a double jubilee with the 25th anniversary of the liberation of the German people from fascism by the Soviet army. The liberating act of the Soviet Union led to the destruction of the old, imperialist police apparatus and the establishment of an anti-fascist-democratic police of the people, which became an active co-creator of new social and thus power relations. In loyal devotion to his socialist fatherland, the German Democratic Republic and its government, the member of the German People's Police makes the solemn oath, including the use of his life socialist social, political and legal order, socialist property, personality, rights and to protect the personal property of citizens from criminal attacks.
