DHAKA, Sept 24, 2024 (BSS) - Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner (DMP) Md 
Mainul Hassan has asked the fresh police officers to prepare themselves by 
attaining proper training as they have to face many challenges ahead to 
establish peace and discipline in the society through proper execution of the 
laws.

"The main task of police is to maintain law and order and ensure security of 
the people... This is a very challenging task. There are many challenges 
ahead. You have to maintain law and order after overcoming the challenges. 
So, you have to prepare yourselves with attaining appropriate trainings. Be 
attentive in training," he said. 

He made the remarks at an inaugural orientation programme of the newly-
appointed Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) at the conference room 
of the DMP Headquarters here. 

Paying due tributes to the policemen died recently, the police commissioner 
said, "Many things have started afresh in the changed situation following the 
student-people movement. DMP is the largest police unit. It has 35,000 
members and they are extending services to the city dwellers." 

He said police are doing three types of work, first to take measures to 
prevent crimes in the society, second to conduct proper investigation to find 
out the culprits involved in the offences and finally to collect intelligence 
to maintain the law and order.

"It is very important to collect intelligence. Go to the people to collect 
the intelligence, otherwise, you will not get it. The more you get 
intelligence the more you help to check crimes," he said.

Additional Police Commissioner (admin) Faruk Ahmed, Additional Police 
Commissioner (crime and operations) Md Israil Hawlader, Additional Police 
Commissioner (detective) Rezaul Karim Mallik and Additional Police 
Commissioner (logistics, finance and procurement) Hasan Md Shawkat Ali, among 
others, were present.
