DHAKA, Nov 20, 2025 (BSS)- Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) today unveiled a state-of-the-art cyber support centre, setting a new benchmark in the fight against cybercrime and strengthening measures to safeguard public security.

DMP Commissioner S M Sazzat Ali formally opened the centre as chief guest at a ceremony held in the morning beside the DB compound, located on the western side of the Old Ramna Police Station.

In his address, the DMP Commissioner mentioned that with global technological advancement, the nature of crime is also changing. 

Cyber fraud, online scams, digital harassment and defamation are emerging as major threats to personal safety, financial security and social stability, he said.

To ensure citizens’ cyber security, he said, DMP has already undertaken multiple initiatives to enhance its capacity. 

As part of those efforts, the state-of-the-art Cyber Support Centre has been established, equipped with modern laboratories, skilled investigation teams, digital forensic experts and a 24/7 support unit, he said.

The DMP Commissioner said with the inauguration of this centre, citizens, especially women and adolescents facing online harassment, will now receive faster and more effective services and will have a safe platform to file complaints.

Sazzat Ali further said that digital security is not the responsibility of law enforcement alone; it requires the combined efforts of citizens, families, educational institutions and society. 

Urging all to use digital platforms responsibly, he said police are committed to build a safer city, a safer cyberspace and a safer Bangladesh.

Responding to a question from journalists, the DMP Commissioner said the public must refrain from making comments or engaging in activities that undermine the morality of the police. 

Police is discharging its sacred responsibility with sincerity and professionalism to protect public life and property, he said.

The DMP Commissioner added that police will not hesitate to use maximum legal force against miscreants to ensure public safety.
