Remove police-fear among people: IGP

Staff Correspondent: Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Hoque has said that if there is a police-fear among the people, then it has to be removed. If police and people work together, crime will be reduced.

He said this at the closing ceremony of a five-day orientation course of newly appointed officers at the Police Headquarters conference room on Tuesday.

The IGP asked the new police officers to work sincerely for establishing a safe society through public safety.

A total of 112 assistant superintendents of police (ASPs) joined the force through the 35th BCS (Police) cadre and took part in the five-day orientation course.

Of them, 94 are men and 18 women. They will start their one-year basic training in Saradha Bangladesh Police Academy in Rajshahi from May 11.

The IGP said every police member will have to try to fulfill public expectation through public services, because people's expectations towards police increased in the democratic society.

He said the community policing is one of the accepted methods in the world today to combat crimes in the society and many crimes in the society can be controlled through the community policing.

Additional IGP (Administration and Operations) Mohammad Mokhlesur Rahman, Additional IGP (F&D and HRM) Md Mainur Rahman Chowdhury and senior police officials were present at the function.
