Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday said more efficient and target-oriented pre-deployment training is needed for improving basic policing skills, reports UNB.
To keep pace with the ever-changing security scenario across the world, the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Policing has to be updated regularly and adhered to strict standards, he said.
The home minister came up with the remarks while addressing the opening session of United Nations Police Day (UNPOL Day-2022) at a Dhaka hotel on Sunday.
International police activities fundamentally differ from domestic policing, said the minister adding that UN Police normally operate in unstable environments where culture and criminal justice systems are significantly different and the notion of rule of law and social interaction dynamics are largely fluid and obscure.
He said that Bangladesh government has taken a number of pragmatic initiatives to increase the efficiency, capabilities and professionalism of Bangladesh Police, particularly in the field of fighting extremism and terrorism, investigating tech-based crime, organized and transnational crime as well as community engagement through community policing during the last decade.
“I believe, if deployed in greater numbers, officers from Bangladesh Police will be able to make their mark with their expertise in the service of the world community,” Khan added.
