People's Public Security Newspaper
Explanation:
To be correct in connotation and semantics when translating the term, it is necessary to understand in full what "Công an nhân dân" means . This termilogy, in English, must be "People's Public Security " since in Vietnam, People's Public Security not only consists of police force but also other forces that are professionally trained to defend the security of the country. The Newspaper of People's Public Security does not only cover the works and activities of the Vietnam Police but also those of other forces in the Vietnam People's Public Security. The preceding translations of this termilogy including the one of UNSAID are incorrect . In this sense , PEOPLE'S PUBLIC SECURITY NEWSPAPER is the best and only translation for "Báo công an nhân dân"

I think it is best to keep the original Vietnamese name and have its translation in brackets for explanation as in the above UNAIDS document.

Explanation:
think it easy, why do people need to translate it into something so professional, think it like "New York Times" (thời báo New York) nobody thinks it is (thời đại New York). Why we do not think it easy.... because police is the public security
