Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that the Bangladesh Police are not satisfied with their current uniform and that discussions are underway at the highest level of government to decide on restoring one of the force’s traditional attires. He made the remarks on Saturday, March 28, during the passing-out parade of the 43rd BCS Police batch at the Bangladesh Police Academy in Sardah, Rajshahi.

The minister emphasized that the police are not a partisan force but should serve as friends of the people. He said the government aims to make the police a modern, service-oriented, and humane institution free from political influence. As part of broader democratic reforms, a Police Reform Commission has been established to ensure the force remains independent of political interference.

A total of 72 assistant superintendents of police from the 43rd BCS batch completed their training and will now join service, according to the minister’s remarks at the event.
