There is a new policy for appointing OC,
The same face can be seen in various important posts of the police administration including the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the police station. There are also allegations that OCs are often appointed on the advice of influential people. However, the days of keeping the same person in a good position in the field of police including OC are coming to an end. A new policy is being formulated for the post of OC. It will be decided how long a police officer can stay in the post of OC. Apart from this, the new policy will also include the maximum number of OCs in the working life of the police station.
Hopefully, if the new policy comes into force, no one will have the opportunity to hold the OC chair for the rest of their working life after retirement as an inspector. Besides, the present police administration is giving importance to honesty, efficiency, competence and human qualities in all the posts including OC. Training has been arranged in all the units of the force except Sarada Police Academy to ensure how to treat the common people well. Documentaries of what the police did wrong in these cases through various case studies are being shown to show the way to correct in the future. This information has been obtained from multiple responsible sources of the police.
If you want to know about the Inspector General of Police. Benazir Ahmed told Samakal that the appointment will be based on merit, skill and reputation. We want to stop the unwanted competition or 'rat race' to become OC. There are plans to formulate a new policy for the appointment of OCs. It will be implemented with the permission of the government. Not only the OC, but also those who have made friends with the bad guys in the area due to their long tenure in other police posts, we also want to give a strong message to them. There will be a realistic transfer and posting policy for police members. Those who do not treat people humanely, engage in dishonest activities, will not be able to get a good job.
The IGP said, "Our dream is to have the police as the cleanest organization." They will be the place of people's trust. Police members who cause harassment and danger to the people will not be considered for important posts and transfers.
He added, however, that if a member of the police qualifies himself from a specialized unit, he will not be discouraged. If one wants to build his career in the naval police, he has to master the relevant laws. The government has created many special units of the police. If any officer acquires special knowledge there, that unit will benefit. But it is also true that the police is a huge organization. If you change everything overnight, there will be a chance of making a mistake. Policies are being carefully formulated after a lot of analysis.
Dr. Benazir Ahmed said the police has about 6,000 inspector posts. The number of police stations is 650. Everyone dreams of becoming OC. It's not even my fault. We want healthy competition among the good officers to go for the post of OC. After working as SI for 9 to 12 years, he became an inspector. Again he spent 15 to 16 years as an inspector. After that, ASP and Additional Superintendent of Police should be promoted. The policy will stipulate the maximum number of years in which a person can hold the post of OC. Regarding the recent transfer in Cox's Bazar, the IGP said it was an important district for various reasons. We wanted to reorganize the police administration there. There has been a completely new blood transfusion. In all the recent transfers, we have tried to evaluate the efficient and honest officers by checking and selecting.
DMP Commissioner and President of the Police Service Association Moha. Shafiqul Islam said recruitment, transfer and posting cost money - the police want to get out of this culture completely. It is a challenge to say that all the latest promotion examinations have been conducted on the basis of 100% transparency. Many of the police say when they take money from ordinary people - everyone from the bottom to the top has to pay, brother. I don't eat money alone. We are breaking this chain. I want to see who eats the money. He who eats must take the responsibility.
Shafiqul Islam further said, "Before being posted in DMP, we have 5-6 officers." The past activities of that officer, what kind of role he has been seen in where he has worked - these are analyzed. Even then, I see a lot of negative things coming out of him after he was appointed. Then his true form can be seen. Change is needed to do something good.
He said that if there is a policy of deputation, even if there is lobbying from an influential quarter, it can be said that it is not possible to depute that officer according to the policy. We want to completely stop the way of taking illegal advantage of the position. So that the hobby of that officer disappears only after working as OC for two-three years. Then he will not think any position is more important. It was seen that an officer was getting the responsibility as the Superintendent of Police of three or four districts. Why he will get prize posting again and again. The environment is being created so that those who are honest, competent and efficient also get postings in good places.
The force's policymakers are also embarrassed by the recent controversial actions of some members of the police, including several OCs. Often a couple of incidents tarnish the good work of the police. Recently, a young man named Raihan Ahmed was tortured at a police outpost in Sylhet and died. Four policemen, including Akbar Hossain, in-charge of the outpost, were sacked and three others were withdrawn.
Police policymakers believe the controversial role of two to four OCs and other members of the ranks has made the police uncomfortable with the image. Last August, Lalmonirhat Sadar Police Station OC Mahfuz Alam cleaned it with a sanitizer and paid a bribe of Tk 10,000. He was removed if the video went viral on social media.
Former Major Sinha at the check post in Cox's Bazar. Teknaf Police Station OC Pradeep Kumar Das's controversial role came to light after Rashed Khan's death. Earlier, Nusrat, a madrasa student from Feni, was burnt to death after Sonagazi Police Station OC Moazzem Hossain's unprofessional behavior. OC Moazzem was arrested in a case filed after the incident. In that incident, the then Superintendent of Police of Feni Jahangir Alam Sarkar was removed. The OC of a police station in Mymensingh Range has been working in all the big police stations for many years. There are allegations that he has become the owner of a lot of wealth unethically.
The casino was done last year. At that time Motijheel Police Station OC Omar Farooq was transferred. While Shahidur Rahman was on duty at Bangshal police station, he was accused of helping to occupy the house of a freedom fighter. Then he was also transferred. In the same incident, the then Deputy Commissioner of Police of Lalbagh Division Ibrahim Khan was removed. Former Pallabi Police Station OC Dadan Fakir was charged with irregularities in the arrest warrant. He was later transferred to DB.
According to the responsible sources of the police, a list has been made of the members who have been in the post of OC in different police stations for a long time but their honesty, qualifications and conduct are not good. The police headquarters has made this list on the basis of intelligence information. They will be gradually shifted from OC to other units. The list includes several DMP OCOs. They too will be reshuffled soon. On September 17, Turag Police Station OC Nurul Mottakin was removed and handed over to the CID. Lastly, 19 people including Sylhet Commissioner Golam Kibria were transferred. There were various allegations against some of them. Those controversial officials have been sent to less important positions. However, there are allegations that there are still many dishonest officials in Sylhet metropolis, range and Chittagong who have been in the same position for a long time. Again their village home in the district around the workplace.
Details of the force members and their relatives are being sought through the Police Internal Oversight (PIO). As the PIO is strong, the activities of most of the members of the police have come under a kind of surveillance. The journey of PIO started with the hands of the present Inspector General of Police.
Commentary of a police officer- Honest, competent and professional officers have been in responsible positions for a long time but the problem does not arise. When an unscrupulous official gets all the 'prize postings', the citizens do not get the desired service and frustration is created among other honest officials. According to the custom, one should stay in OC or other post for 2-3 years. But despite not being qualified, many are in the same chair year after year.
Several responsible police officials said that the behavior and body language of many police personnel at the field level had a negative impact on the image of the force. Ordinary citizens seeking service are treated harshly in the tone of 'command'. Police stations, police investigation centers, traffic sergeants on the streets, when talking to the general public, first forget to say 'culture of salutation'. At first he said to someone, 'Stop this. 'Stand here'. Top officials of the force want to cultivate a culture of 'respecting' others from the highest level to the lowest. You can't talk to anyone with threats in the beginning.
A documentary has been made with videos of several incidents of behavioral problems of field level police members. The documentary has already shown 1,300 SIs and 100 assistant police superintendents training in Saradha. At this time, instructions have been given on how to deal with the citizens in the future. The police headquarters has taken initiative to provide practical training on behavioral issues to the members of all ranges and units of the country including DMP in phases.
An official in charge said a woman was sitting in the seat next to a private car driver in Gulshan. He did not install the car door properly after his brother got down. Later, the woman from the car seat requested a person to close the car door. Then the traffic sergeant next to the car thought that the woman driver was telling him to close the door. The sergeant got into an argument with the driver. It was later seen that after the brother got out of the car, the woman driver looked through the looking glass and requested a pedestrian to close the door. The policy makers of the force are showing the way to correct the behavior of the police by illustrating the incident.
By making illustrated videos of seven more similar incidents, they are highlighting their role in realizing the dream of forming a humanitarian police. The police have named this initiative - 'Good use increases the respect of the police.' It is also being said that if someone loses something and goes to the police station to make a GD, he should accept it nicely. He has to provide legal assistance by expressing 'grief' by uniting himself with the suffering of the lost person.
Kamruzzaman, AIG (Multimedia and Publicity) at the police headquarters, said, "In some cases, our behavioral problems at the field level are being pointed out." Training is underway on how to overcome behavioral problems. He hoped that similar incidents would not happen again in the future after showing these scenes through videos.
Thanks for your valuable time.
