Working to build a Better and Safer Dhaka | DMP

Dear readers,

How are you ? Happy New Year !

Today I am going to write a little about the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), they are always working hard to to build a Better and Safer Dhaka city. The post contain a little history of the DMP and a little description about all the divisions. Most info of the post has been taken from the official web portal of Dhaka Metropolitan Police - DMP. So if you want to know more details about the DMP please visit their website.

A little about DMP:

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) came into existence on the 1st February, 1976. Mr. E.A. Chowdhury, the first Commissioner and Mr. A.S.M. Shahjahan (later on made IGP, Secretary and Advisor to the Caretaker Government) was the first Deputy Commissioner (Head Quarter) jointly toiled at setting-up an effective and professional Metropolitan Police service. Afterwards, Mr. A.M. M. Aminur Rahman and Mr. A. R. Khandokar shouldered the responsibilities to shape this organization as dignified one.

When DMP was formed, it started its course with 12 police stations along with 6000 forces in the year 1976. The population of Dhaka City stood to be less than 40,00,000 when DMP started working after the formation. This figure has almost tripled by now and could be more than that.

The Metropolitan area itself increased in shape and size year after year exceeding the area of the city. So, the increased populations and land of Dhaka must of course, call for extends quality services. Hence the world is moving so fast in the 21st century, so modernization and improvement of DMP is a demand of the time.

This concept led to reshaping DMP in respect of force size, modernization and organizational structure, the big step towards materializing this process was to establish 41 police stations instead of 12. The rest of proposed 18 police stations will be established as soon as possible. A consensus has already been made. A memo was issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs approving 1378 new posts which include-2 Additional Commissioners (DIG), 5 Joint Commissioners (Additional DIG), 11 Deputy Commissioners (SP), 24 Additional Deputy Commissioners (ADC), 45 Senior Assistant Commissioners (Sr. ASP), 44 Assistant Commissioners (ASP), 88 Inspectors, 85  Sub-Inspector, 900 Assistant Sub-Inspectors. At present total strength of Dhaka Metropolitan Police personnel (all ranks and status) are more than 23,000.

Divisions and Functions of DMP:

Based on the info provided on the official web portal of DMP, the functions of DMP being divided into five operational Divisions with a Joint Commissioner each in the command assisted by a band of Deputy Commissioners, Additional Deputy Commissioners and Assistant Commissions with their willingness and sagacious co-ordination. They are:

1. Detective and Criminal Intelligence Division:

The prime responsibility of Detective and Criminal Intelligence Division is to detect sensation crimes and to be on the track of notorious criminals. Apprehension of criminal gangs and veteran criminals and recovery of illegal firearms and explosives is preoccupation of every DB officer. Alert the prosecution of Detective and Criminal Intelligence Division works in connection with the procedure in the court.

2. Crime and Operations Division:

Crime and Operations Division is basically responsible for policing i.e. maintaining law and order situation if the concerned area. The job of apprehension of the criminals, warrant execution, investigation of the cases, recovery of illegal arms etc comes naturally under the responsibility of this Division. Crime and Operations Division provides the service of prevention and detection of crime directly to the public through the police station.

3. Traffic Division:

Traffic Division plans, executes and controls the traffic system of the Metropolitan along with creating awareness for traffic rules in public mind.

4. Protection and Protocol Division:

Protection and Protocol Division includes the job of providing protection to the V.V.I.P.s and V.I.P.s including chancery to secure the diplomatic missions and area.

5. Public Order Management and Head Quarters Division:

Bangladesh Navy | IN WAR AND PEACE INVINCIBLE AT SEA

History about Bangladesh Navy:

Bangladesh Navy (BN) came into existence during the liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971.

BN started its brave stride with only two gunboats named PADMA and PALASH and a small number of Naval Commandos during the War of Liberation. Contribution of this small force in 1971 with the whole nation has become a milestone in the history of Bangladesh Navy. They carried out as good as 45 gallant operations causing irreparable damages to the enemy. The undaunted bravery of the Naval Commandos and Sailors will always remain as a golden history of the BN.

After the Independence, the wide vision of the national leaders of the country expedited the formation of necessary naval infrastructure. Two Ex Royal Navy Frigates joined in BN named as BNS UMAR FAROOQ and BNS ALI HAIDER in 1976 and 1978 respectively. Later, in 1982 the 3rd Ex Royal Navy Frigate joined at BN named as BNS ABU BAKR. Inclusion of these three Frigate is considered as the principal foundation of Bangladesh Navy. This has introduced the new born nation as a ''Limited Blue Water Navy'' to the whole world.

After that the Bangladesh Navy has undergone a dramatic changes over the last couple of decades. The changes didn't only happen in size and shape but also in its Role, Mission and Vision. To-day, BN has grown into its present form and is the vanguard of maritime defence of the country.

MISSION of Bangladesh Navy:

Safeguard the sovereignty over the internal waters and territorial sea, and sovereign rights over the Contiguous Zone, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and Continental Shelf of Bangladesh while supporting river and maritime economic activities including free flow of riverine and sea borne trade.

Clear VISION of Bangladesh Navy:

" To Build a Three Dimensional Navy "

ROLE of Bangladesh Navy:

• Safeguard / defend the territorial waters of Bangladesh.

• Keep the Sea Lines of Communications (SLOC) open during war and peace.

• Keep the sea ports of Bangladesh open for shipping during a war.

• Protection of the Bangladesh fishing fleet.

• Patrolling in riverine waters of Bangladesh.

• Search and Rescue at sea.

• Cyclone warning for Naval Ships and Crafts.

• Protection for merchant ships in the deep seas.

• Assist the civil administration in maintaining internal security and peace, whenever called for such duties.

• Assist the civil administration in the event of natural calamities like flood, cyclone, tidal waves, earthquake etc whenever called for such duties.

• Naval Control of Shipping (Internal and External, Inland or Foreign) Organization.

• Oceanographic survey.

• Any other task for which the government may deem it necessary to deploy the Bangladesh Navy.

NAVAL Operations:

Since its inception Bangladesh Navy has carried out many operations. It included both operations of Liberation War and Peace Time Operations. The war time operation involved conventional as well as unconventional operation. The peace time operation was mainly related to anti-smuggling, anti-piracy, fishery protection and many others involved in aid to civil power. However the remarkable operations of Bangladesh Navy are:

• Operation JACKPOT in liberation war.

• Operation NIRMUL.

• Operation PROTIRODH.

The peace time operation made a significant contribution to the overall economy by protecting the interest of Bangladesh at seas.

The official web portal of Bangladesh Navy has lots of information's rather than these.

Thanks a lot.
