In a bold move aimed at revitalizing the nation’s beleaguered law enforcement, the government has announced the transfer of 124 high-ranking police officials, including 101 Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs). This sweeping reshuffle is part of a strategic initiative to restore balance and efficacy within police operations across the country.
On Monday, the Police Headquarters disseminated two crucial notifications, signed by Additional Deputy Inspector General Khandaker Shamima Yesmin, acting on behalf of Inspector General of Police Baharul Alam. These transfers take effect immediately, positioning key officials in various units to enhance law and order.
The urgency of this action stems from a troubling rise in serious crimes—murders, robberies, and snatchings—plaguing communities at all hours. The surge in criminal activity has sparked concern over the effectiveness of law enforcement, particularly following the significant changes implemented on August 5.
In response, the interim government is taking decisive steps, including the transfer of police officials to the Office on Special Duty (OSD) to address the escalating lawlessness. Just days prior, on February 27, the government shifted 19 additional deputy inspector generals (DIGs) and 33 police superintendents in a concerted effort to tackle the crisis head-on.
The previous week, on February 25, a significant reshuffle saw Additional Inspector General Abdul Alim Mahmud and 82 other officers reassigned to OSD status due to their controversial conduct while in service. This extensive overhaul underscores a commitment to reestablishing trust and integrity within the ranks of law enforcement, as the government seeks to combat the rising tide of crime.
