Bangladesh’s Advisory Council, chaired by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, has approved the Police Commission Ordinance aimed at making the police force more people-oriented and accountable. Environmental Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan announced the decision during a briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka. The five-member commission will be led by a retired Supreme Court judge and include senior officials, academics, and human rights experts with at least 15 years of experience. The commission will work with the government to ensure the police operate independently and uphold human rights. It will also investigate public complaints against police, address internal grievances of police personnel, and recommend reforms for modernization, training, and welfare. Additionally, the commission will advise the government on necessary legal research and policy development to enhance transparency, efficiency, and professionalism within the police force.
