The aviation wing of the Bangladesh Police is set to receive two Russian MI-171A2 helicopters, with one scheduled for delivery in July and the other in August, and the government is allocating funds in the upcoming budget for their payments.
The supplies will come from Moscow-headquartered JSC Russian Helicopters, according to the minutes of a meeting of the budget management committee for the Public Security Division under the home ministry.
To this end, an agreement was signed in November 2021 in Dhaka and Police Headquarters stated in a press release that two MI-171A2 helicopters would be purchased from JSC Russian Helicopters. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved the purchases the previous month.
However, due to various reasons, including the coronavirus pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and complications in transactions with Moscow after the conflict broke out, the Russian manufacturer could not supply the helicopters at that time.
For the helicopter purchases, the government earmarked Tk191 crore in the fiscal 2023-24 budget, which was also reflected in the revised budget.
But, due to the non-delivery of the helicopters, this allocation is being rolled over to the next fiscal year's budget. Besides, there will be an additional allocation to settle the helicopter bill.
In the budget management committee meeting of the Public Security Division held on 27 April, Additional Deputy Inspector General (Transport) Sarwar Morshed Shamim said the Russian supplier would deliver one helicopter next July and another in August. He, therefore, requested the transfer of the allocation to the next budget.
The wing was formed in 2021 with the aim of playing vital roles in communication, various operations, and rescue missions in remote areas. With the addition of these helicopters, the wing is receiving aircraft for the first time, opening up new horizons in the country's law enforcement.
Capacity of Emergency Service to be enhanced
Allocations are being made in the next fiscal year's budget to improve the institutional capacity of the police, said an official engaged with the Public Security Division's budget plan.
The capacity of the National Emergency Service 999 will be increased. The use of this service by the common people of the country is increasing regularly and that is why an allocation of Tk48 crore is being kept in the next budget, the official told this newspaper.
The additional allocation is for the purchase of arms, ammunition, security materials, motor vehicles, intelligence security materials, information and communication technology equipment, wireless devices, and computer software in the next budget.
Towards smart law enforcement
Besides, there is a separate allocation for smart border surveillance by the Border Guard Bangladesh. An allocation will be there to increase the technical capacity of the Bangladesh Coast Guard to strengthen coastal security. Overall, there will be an initiative to form a smart law enforcement force in the next budget.
According to the budget management committee meeting minutes, a total budget of Tk26,837 crore – Tk25,129 crore for operation and Tk1,708 crore for development – is being proposed for the Public Security Division in the next financial year.
Tk17,355 crore of the operating budget will be spent on the Bangladesh Police, compared to Tk16,637 crore allocated in the current fiscal year. The proposed operating budget for Border Guard Bangladesh in the fiscal 2024-25 is Tk4,277 crore.
Apart from this, an operating budget of Tk2,192 crore has been fixed for the Ansar and VDP Directorates.
Arrears of Ansar, VDP
According to the Public Security Division, the allowances that the representatives of Bangladesh Ansar and VDP are supposed to receive for performing duties with the police in various police stations, outposts, temples, and KPI-affiliated institutions of the government have been in arrears since 2018. As a result, there are various problems with the performance of Ansar members.
Bangladesh Police has proposed to allocate funds in the budget for the payment of these arrears. However, the total outstanding amount was not mentioned in the budget allocation. Money will be allocated for these arrears in the operating budget of the Bangladesh Police.
Security Services Division budget
Meanwhile, in the budget for the fiscal 2024-25, an allocation of Tk4,163 crore has been proposed for the Security Services Division – Tk2,651 crore for operating and Tk1,542 crore for development.
This division will expand the Fire Service and Civil Defence Directorate's ambulance services under the development budget. The expansion and modernisation of drug addiction rehabilitation centres, the introduction of e-passports and an automated border control system, and various prison construction projects will be implemented.

Organised policing in Bangladesh has a history of around 200 years starting from the British colonial era. The constitution of the country, laws, rules and regulations including the Police Regulations, the Police Act, and the Code of Criminal Procedure form the legal basis for the existence of Bangladesh Police. The interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus has recently constituted a commission for recommending measures to reform this age-old institution in order to attune it to the needs of a democratic society and modern living.
This has been done in the backdrop of a breakdown in the institutional structure and functions of Bangladesh Police due to excessive politicisation and rampant misapplications by the previous autocratic regime. The situation reached such a precarious state that many policemen even went into hiding after the fall of the autocrat Hasina because of the misdeeds they had committed earlier, which was quite unprecedented in the history of Bangladesh.
Experts concerned including former police officials are now suggesting comprehensive reforms in appointments, transfers, promotions, facilities, work-environment and management of the force. Besides, they recommend a powerful supervisory structure for making Bangladesh Police a service-oriented outfit and ensure their accountability cum transparency.
According to knowledgeable quarters, manpower-problem, dearth of budgetary provisions, and infrastructural limitations were previously cited as contributing factors to the lack of professionalism in the police force. However, this notion has undergone change over the previous fifteen years. As many as 83 thousand posts were added to Bangladesh Police during that period and 178 posts were created at the higher echelons for cadre officers. The police manpower touched the figure of 213 thousand in November 2023, and the budgetary allocations for the force increased by over 433 per cent during the 15-year rule of the mafia-like fascist regime.
However, most of the infrastructure built were unplanned ones and there were reports of rampant corruption in all those initiatives. Besides, the force could not be made people-oriented despite improvements in facilities, infrastructure and logistics, as pleasing the policemen was prioritised over people's welfare by the then government.
Consequently, a large chunk of the force was used like party-men for keeping the regime in power through three fraudulent elections in 2014, 2018, and 2024. In fact, the regime became more dependent on the police and administration than the party workers for rigging elections.
In the above backdrop, experts have emphasized ensuring accountability of the police force by placing them under a permanent independent Police Commission and a Police Complaints Commission. The Police Commission should work independently for improving professionalism of the force through merit and efficiency-based appointments, transfers, and promotions. The Complaints Commission, on the other hand, would ensure transparency and accountability in all these matters.
There is also the need for elaborate policies on postings and promotions, and fit-lists should be prepared for the purpose on a regular basis. Besides, bribery and corruption in these areas should be dealt with an iron-hand, as officials who have to pay bribes engage in similar acts later for recovering those resulting in a vicious cycle from the top to the bottom of police hierarchy with clear linkages between corruption and criminal activities by the police. It was also revealed in a 2004 TIB study that frequent transfers in the police department hampered proper functioning of the police stations, as average tenure of officers-in-charge at metropolis, district, and upazila levels were only about one year.
Two World Bank reports also shed light on the sorry state of Bangladesh Police in the past. The 1999 report titled 'Bangladesh: Key Challenges for the Next Millennium' noted: "The public at large is fearful and suspicious of the police and view law enforcement agents as predators, not protectors. Ninety-six percent of the respondents to the TI 1996 survey claimed that it was impossible to get help from the police without money or influence.
More than two-thirds of the complainants reported having to pay to induce police officers to file the necessary 'First Information Report'. Seventy-one percent also accused the police of taking bribes and distorting the charge-sheet in favour of bribe-payers and delaying sending cases to the court. Physical assault and torture in police custody are common and viewed as normal means of eliciting confessions from suspects. There are frequent media reports of documented cases of people tortured to death and women sexually abused and raped while in police custody".
Another World Bank report titled 'Bangladesh: Improving Governance for Reducing Poverty' noted in 2002: "Bribery, that begins with the formality of reporting a crime in the form of General Diary (GD) or First Information Report (FIR) can also influence the outcome of any investigation and prosecution. Between the first step of registering a criminal complaint and follow-up investigation, and where appropriate, prosecution in court, money greases the wheels of justice". It is therefore evident that the country's criminal justice system also needs to be reformed alongside the police force for getting optimum result.
In the light of the above, the first priority in reforming the police force should be to amend the laws, rules and regulations related to it. Provisions should be incorporated for establishing an independent Police Commission that would supervise the functioning of the force. The commission in turn would frame the policy guidelines for the management of Bangladesh Police, covering all functional aspects and areas.
Secondly, a Police Complaints Commission should be established, which would look into grievances about application of discretionary powers by the police including recording of GDs and FIRs, as well as arrests and detentions. Thirdly, the police should receive regular training on upholding human rights in order to make them more humane and people-oriented. And fourthly, measures should be taken for closer interactions of the police force with the society they live in, so that people can feel that the policemen belong to their community and are meant to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Options like increased integration of the police force with the local communities and local governments may be considered for the purpose.

The committee was given seven working days to accomplish its task, but the time has been extended, AIG Enamul said further.
The committee was formed following a views-exchange meeting of former home adviser Brig Gen (retd) M Sakhawat Hussain with senior officials of the police and the Home Ministry on 11 August.
