Police Reform Programme (Phase-II) Construction of Service Delivery Centres in fifteen Police Stations continued during 2012. About 75% of the construction work has been completed as of the end of 2012. All other construction completion is tentatively set at June 2013. Under DMP, the Dhanmondi Model Thana "Service Delivery Desk" was refurbished, aiming to establish a more professional environment and to foster community services. The PRP also completed an extension of its own project offices at Police Headquarters which now includes a conference room. Thirteen training courses were conducted for Model Thana personnel. A total of 317 police officers participated in the training, enhancing their expertise and dexterity on a wide range of general duties and investigation related matters. The PRP conducted a training presentation on community policing during the Aid to Good Investigation Course at the Detective Training School in Dhaka for mid-rank investigators. The PRP presentation provided participants with an overview of the National Strategy on Community Policing and outlined main considerations when implementing community policing initiatives in Bangladesh. Networking: In cooperation with Component 6, a meeting on Crime Pattern Analysis Systems was conducted with the CMP and OCs. The development of a CPAS pilot is underway and the entire initiative involving thirteen police stations is expected to be operational in the first half of 2013. The PRP conducted ongoing meetings with the USAID Community Police Project Coordinator and Governance Adviser to update USAID on ongoing initiatives and to develop future collaboration between community policing stakeholders and donor agencies in Bangladesh. In collaboration with The Asia Foundation, the PRP hosted a meeting aiming to identify areas of mutual cooperation on community policing initiatives. Both the PRP and The Asia Foundation have selected areas of mutual interest and strategies to avoid resource duplication in Bangladesh's northern districts, such as sharing training data to ensure that previously trained officers trained on community policing are not selected for future training on the same topic. 28 Annual Report 2012
