Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam today (23 January) asked the newly appointed police officers to earn the public's trust by carrying out their duties impartially.

Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the 43rd BCS (Police) batch ASP Orientation Course at the Police Headquarters, he said when the police earn the trust of the people, the public will be more inclined to cooperate in maintaining law and order.

"You are the future leadership of the police force. The dignity of the police department depends on you. Therefore, you must carry out your responsibilities with honesty and set an example for others to follow," said the police chief.

He further pointed out that recent movements against discrimination have provided the police with an opportunity to reconsider the expectations the public has of them. 

"As guardians of law and order, the police must be in tune with the emotions and sentiments of the people while carrying out their duties professionally," he added.

The IGP also highlighted the challenging nature of the policing profession, urging the new officers to acquire the necessary skills through training to face various challenges. 

He stressed the importance of gaining knowledge in constitutional rights, human rights, and new laws.

In addition, IGP Baharul Alam pointed out the significance of modern technology in policing. 

"In today's technological age, it is crucial to acquire skills and knowledge in advanced technologies to effectively control crime," he said.

The ceremony was also attended by Additional IGP (HRM) Abu Nasir Mohammad Khaled, DIG (HR) Kazi Zia Uddin, and other relevant officials.

A total of 84 officers from the 43rd BCS (Police) batch have joined as Assistant Superintendents of Police, including 78 men and six women.
