Police is now a tech savvy, people-friendly institution: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh Police is emerging as a people-friendly modern technology-based organization capable of facing contemporary challenges. The head of government said that in this era of globalization and digitalization, criminals are rapidly expanding their crimes to international and regional levels by using readily available technology and always adopting new strategies. In this regard, every phase of police operations is being digitized to keep pace with the world to meet the new challenges related to information and communication technology in this era of international, regional and local technology-based crime prevention and crime detection and the fourth industrial revolution (4IR).
This was stated by the Prime Minister in a message conveyed on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the Industrial Police on Monday (October 31).
He said that in the last 13 and a half years, six specialized units including anti-terrorism unit, cyber unit, four armed police battalions, three RAB battalions, two ranges, two metropolitan police, 63 police stations, 95 investigation centers and 30 in-service training centers have been formed in the police force.
