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 challenges. 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 in the capital on Tuesday.
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.
