The Bangladesh Police are independent employees of the republic, adhering strictly to the law.” Addressing the new recruits, he added, “Today marks the end of your year-long basic training. From now on, you will step into the field as well-trained, skilled, and intelligent police officers, dedicated to upholding the rule of law and serving the citizens. I welcome you to this new phase of your career.” He also congratulated the recruits for their impressive parade display.
