DHAKA, April 21, 2025 (BSS) – Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali today asked the police officers to take cases of cognizable offences to pave the way of exposing the real criminals to justice.  
 
“Cases must be taken in cases of cognizable crimes. No incident can be suppressed. The mystery of the cases must be revealed and the real criminals must be brought to justice,” he said. 
 
He made the remarks while presiding over the monthly crime review meeting for March-2025 at the Bangladesh Police Auditorium at Rajarbagh here today. 
 
In the meeting, the Commissioner also awarded officers of different ranks of the DMP in various categories in recognition of their good works in maintaining law and order, crime control and public safety in March last.
 
The DMP Commissioner stressed the need for enhancing measures to prevent crimes from happening and resolve cases and increase the number of warrants.
 
Sazzat Ali highly praised the role of the police personnel in decreasing the incidents of crimes particularly the robberies in the metropolitan city. 
 
 “Robberies have decreased to a large extent because you are working sincerely. Everyone must keep a vigilant eye so that it does not happen again,” he said. 
 
He also thanked all the members of the DMP for their sincere duty in maintaining law and order during the holy month of Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr and Bengali New Year.
 
The DMP Commissioner asked the police officers to perform their duties with due professionalism.  
 
DB should increase the number of arrests based on intelligence information by identifying criminals and the officers-in-charge (OCs) of each police station of the DMP should investigate the cases, he said. 
 
He continued that the police patrol teams should coordinate with the security guards of each building in the police station areas. 
 
If the security guards have information about any crime, they should provide the information to the police which will help to work accordingly, he said.
