DMP Commissioner’s directive to register cases of cognizable offences

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali has asked the police officers to take cases of cognizable offences to pave the way of exposing the real criminals to justice.  

The DMP commissioner made the direction while presiding over the monthly crime review meeting for March-2025 at the Bangladesh Police Auditorium at Rajarbagh in the city on Monday.

“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. 

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. 

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.
