DHAKA, April 29, 2025 (BSS) – Home Adviser Lieutenant General Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd.) today called upon the Bangladesh Police to be a people-friendly force. 
 
“Build you up as a people-friendly force,” he told Bangladesh police while exchanging views with police officers marking the Police Week-2025 at Bangladesh Police Auditorium of the Rajarbagh Police Lines.
 
The Home Adviser asked the police personnel to change the mindset of the people towards   police force through good behaviour, expected services and honesty.
 
“Make sure that the common people are not harassed in any way,” he said. 
 
Jahangir asked the police to work for the people with neutrality keeping above any political influence. 
 
“Don’t take special advantages from anyone and keep yourselves away from bribery and corruption,” he said. 
 
The Home Adviser said the government has been working to resolve the problems of the police that include acute crisis of accommodation and vehicles. 
 
“We have been working to resolve various problems with the police. Steps have been taken to purchase 200 pick-up vans for the police stations. It is scheduled to place before the purchase affairs committee of the cabinet today,” he said.      
 
Mentioning that the police personnel have to face numerous challenges while performing their duties, he asked the police personnel to perform their duties with patience in coping with the challenges. 
 
“Don’t charge batons and exert excessive force unnecessarily. It is possible to resolve many problems through discussions and   patience,” he said.
 
The Home Adviser said initiatives have been taken to give loans for purchasing motorcycles, adding that sub inspectors (SIs) and assistant sub inspectors (ASIs) will get the loan at the primary stage.
