Police dept executes new constable-friendly policy

Kailash Sarkar
Lower-ranking police personnel, over 71 percent of the total force, can now expect promotion and posting in a systematic way — thanks to a new comprehensive human resources policy adopted by the police administration.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has already started implementing the new policy.
According to sources, out of a total of 1.23 lakh police personnel in the country, about 88,000 are constables.
The police department since its inception never had any organisational set up to evaluate the lower ranks of police. Whereas, there had
been some sort of guideline for the promotion and posting of upper ranks of police and they even enjoy various incentives including special training abroad, said sources in the police department.
Due to the absence of a comprehensive human resources policy, most of the lower-level police personnel resort to bribing higher officials for promotion or posting to their preferred locations, added the sources
Taking advantage of this situation, many high officials have also been abusing their authority over their subordinates and engaging their assigned bodyguards and orderlies to carry out household chores or run errands, alleged the
sources.
Nur Mohammad, inspector general of police (IGP), told The Daily Star recently that Bangladesh is most likely the only country in the world where the orderly post in the police department still exists.
"The orderly post should be done away with. A large number of the workforce is being misused in the name of these orderly and bodyguard posts," said the IGP
He however said the department is yet to make a decision over the abolition of the orderly post. "It would've been revolutionary for the police department if we could do so."
"We are also thinking about

bringing changes in the traditional Annual Confidential Report (ACR) system and we already submitted a proposal in this regard to the home ministry for approval." added the IGP
While talking to The Daily Star regarding the implementation of the new human resources policy, DMP Commissioner Naim Ahmed said, "We have formulated the new policy for the posting and promotion of the lower-ranked police personnel, mainly constables, so that they can be promoted to Nayek, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and Habilder positions following due process under the newly formulated policy."
"In police history, there had never been any specific guideline for posting and promotion of the constables who represent over 71 percent ofour total force, "the DMP commissioner said adding, "The constables seeking promotion will have to take examinations on a first come first serve basis. ’
"In order to ensure fairness and transparency in the promotion process, a board has been formed to examine the exam papers," Naim said assuring that under the new policy, high police officials will no longer be able to engage the constables in household chores or make them run errands.
The DMP currently has 23,599 personnel including 16,720 (70.85 percent) constables.
