Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam has said that Bangladesh Police will demonstrate full professionalism, neutrality, and responsibility during the upcoming national parliamentary elections. He made the remarks on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, while addressing the 27th BCS (Police) batch ASP probationers at the 'Hall of Integrity' in the Police Headquarters. The probationers were initially selected in 2008, and their appointments were recently finalized after a long delay.

The IGP stated that the police force stands at a critical juncture, working tirelessly to boost morale and restore public confidence. He described the probationers’ appointments as a symbol of rightful recognition rather than mere personal success. Emphasizing the changing nature of policing, he noted that intelligence, global awareness, and technological adaptability are now essential to address cybercrime and social media influence.

Baharul Alam urged the new officers to maintain discipline, punctuality, and strict adherence to regulations during their training at the Bangladesh Police Academy. Senior police officials, including several Additional IGPs, were present at the event.
