<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Foreword<br />
This report highlights the progress made and the challenges faced<br />
in the third quarter of 2012 by the PRP. During the reporting period<br />
all PRP components have achieved notable progress despite some<br />
challenges.<br />
The most important result during this quarter was the<br />
commencement of the Bangladesh Draft <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance 2007<br />
revision by a committee formed by the <strong>Police</strong> Headquarters and<br />
chaired by myself, after the Ordinance was returned from MoHA.<br />
Additionally, the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Strategic Plan 2012-2014 has<br />
now been finalised by the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> with the PRP support<br />
and will be disseminated later on this year.<br />
PRP facilitated consultations between senior police officials and the drafting committee of the<br />
Implementing Rules for the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act to ensure that<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> had input into the drafting process of this important legislation. The<br />
consultations focused on the investigations process, protection and support to victims and on<br />
enhancing international cooperation in addressing transnational human trafficking crimes. The<br />
<strong>Programme</strong> also provided advice to the Dhaka Metropolitan <strong>Police</strong> on restructuring of the<br />
Detective Branch.<br />
The construction of Model Thana Service Delivery Centers is progressing satisfactorily and all 15<br />
Centers are expected to be completed by March 2013 as originally planned. PRP is also<br />
assisting with the construction of six new Victim Support Centers around the country and<br />
refurbishments in the new Women Support and Investigation Division. The refurbishments will<br />
finish in November 2012 and all VSCs are expected to be handed over by June 2013, with the<br />
first two expected to be ready by January 2013. The existing Victim Support Centers in Dhaka<br />
and Rangamati are fully operational, receiving 151 victims during this quarter.<br />
PRP could not have achieved these outcomes without the support and cooperation of the<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong>, Government institutions, development partners and the community. I would<br />
like to thank and express my sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders, in particular to MoHA, the<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong>, UKAid and UNDP, for their ongoing commitment to the <strong>Programme</strong>. I also<br />
thank the members of the Project Steering Committee and the Project Implementation<br />
Committee for their valuable advice and input on strategic issues and project implementation.<br />
I hope that this report will provide information to all stakeholders on the progress made by the<br />
<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> during July-September 2012 period.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Executive Summary<br />
Context<br />
An accountable, transparent and efficient police service in Bangladesh is essential for the safety<br />
of all citizens, national stability and longer-term growth and development. The creation of a<br />
secure environment is also conducive to building consumer and investor confidence. Within this<br />
context the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> have taken important steps towards reform. The UNDP is<br />
supporting the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> by providing much needed technical and financial assistance<br />
to undertake operational, organisational and legal reform; build training capacity; improve the<br />
quality of investigations and operations; consolidate community policing and crime prevention;<br />
make policing more gender sensitive and introduce cost effective and realistic information<br />
communication technology through the <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong>.<br />
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS AND RESULTS<br />
This quarterly report covers the progress and achievements made during the 3rd quarter of 2012.<br />
During this quarter, all PRP components have made some notable progress although some<br />
unforeseen challenges have delayed the implementation of some activities, e.g. to the next<br />
quarter. The project risks log remained unchanged with no additional risks identified. The section<br />
below summarises progress and achievements of each component.<br />
Outcome 1: Strategic Direction and Organisational <strong>Reform</strong><br />
Progress on Legislative <strong>Reform</strong><br />
The UNDP Country Office in coordination with the PRP developed a fresh strategy to revitalise<br />
this process and a series of meetings were held with key stakeholder representatives to identify<br />
the way forward. Following these meetings and an extensive coverage of the police in the media<br />
MoHA returned the Draft <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance to <strong>Police</strong> Headquarters and started the process of<br />
consultations with other key ministries on the 2007 Draft <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance.<br />
In response a <strong>Police</strong> Committee has been formed to review the Draft 2007 <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance<br />
under the chairmanship of the NPD of PRP. The Committee has met once in Quarter 3 and will<br />
meet regularly in Quarter 4.<br />
Two detailed comparative studies of legislative reform were printed in this quarter and will be<br />
released in Quarter 4.<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Strategic Plan 2012-2014<br />
The Strategic Planning Working Group met on five occasions during this quarter.<br />
The Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Strategic Plan was completed and prepared for publication during this<br />
quarter. The plan will be launched during Quarter 4 and the process of developing a roll-out<br />
strategy to support the plan will also begin during the next quarter.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Investigation capacity for both general and specialised crime improved<br />
PRP facilitated consultations between senior police and the drafting committee of the<br />
Implementing Rules for the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act to ensure that<br />
the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> had input into the drafting process of this important legislation. The<br />
consultations had a strong focus on the investigations process, protection and support to victims<br />
and on enhancing international cooperation in combating transnational human trafficking<br />
crimes.<br />
PRP participated in a meeting chaired by the Commissioner of the DMP and 40 of the most<br />
senior DMP officers to discuss the possible restructuring of the DMP Detective Branch from a<br />
geographically-based structure to a structure based on the investigation of specific crime types<br />
(e.g. a new unit for homicide investigation). PRP provided advice to the meeting that the<br />
implementation of specialised units will be a progressive step and PRP also highlighted<br />
associated benefits and challenges. PRP’s advice and input was greatly appreciated by the<br />
Commissioner of the DMP.<br />
Enhancing the management of criminal intelligence<br />
The Criminal Intelligence Working Group has finalised its proposal to establish a criminal<br />
intelligence office at the district/metropolitan level in Bangladesh. The Working Group presented<br />
the proposal to the Additional IGP, CID (and National Project Director, PRP), who approved the<br />
proposal. The Additional IGP, CID, is now in the process of having the proposal included on the<br />
agenda of the next Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Policy Group Meeting for consideration.<br />
An International Consultant, engaged to support the DMP to strengthen the existing Intelligence<br />
Analyst Division (IAD), commenced his contract in this quarter and has completed an<br />
Establishment Guide. The Consultant is now working on the operational assessment of the IAD,<br />
conducting on-the-job training for IAD staff and developing draft Standard Operating Procedures<br />
(SOPs) for the IAD.<br />
More effective working level collaboration between police and the judicial system<br />
Ongoing consultations with the Court Officers Working Group and the Detective Training School<br />
determined that these establishments did not have the resources available to conduct the<br />
revision and development of the Court Officers Course as planned. A national consultant was<br />
then engaged to complete the revision of the Court Officers Course and the training programme<br />
will commence in October 2012 as planned.<br />
A series of consultations were undertaken with stakeholders in the criminal justice system in an<br />
attempt to have them participate in a series of workshops to develop police guidelines on<br />
custody management. Consultations were conducted with the Chair of the Bangladesh National<br />
Human Rights Commission (BNHRC), the Project Manager of the UNDP funded BNHRD-CDP,<br />
the Public Prosecutor and the Chief Judicial Magistrate of the Dhaka Magistrates Court and<br />
invitations were extended to these agencies. The Chair of the BNHRC and the Project Manager<br />
of the BNHRC-CDP accepted the invitations and participated in the workshops that commenced<br />
in the first weeks of Quarter 4 (the outcome of those workshops will be covered in the Quarter 4<br />
report).<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Outcome 4: Crime Prevention and Community Policing<br />
Supporting the renovation and construction of police facilities<br />
Progress of the construction of 10 (out of 15) SDCs is satisfactory and the contract targets have<br />
been achieved. Progress in the remaining five SDCs has been slower and the construction is<br />
behind schedule. In any case, the construction at all sites is expected to be completed by March<br />
2013 as per the contract signed between PRP and PWD.<br />
The Gangachara Model Thana Complex in Rangpur District was inaugurated on 3 September<br />
2012. The complex consists of a three storied police building for operational activities and<br />
officer’s quarters and barracks. The <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> supported the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong><br />
to build this new police facility at a cost of BDT 55 million.<br />
Support to strengthen community policing<br />
PRP organised six joint workshops on Community Policing where 179 Chairpersons of<br />
Community Policing Forum (CPF) of Model Union, Community Policing Officers (CPO) and<br />
Officers-in-Charge of respective <strong>Police</strong> Stations participated.<br />
Two Training of Trainers (TOT) courses for 36 <strong>Police</strong> Officers were organised at the Hotel Lake<br />
Castle in Dhaka during this quarter to develop the training skills of Model Thana personnel. The<br />
component had also arranged two batches of training on Community Policing for Senior <strong>Police</strong><br />
Officers during the period. A total of 38 senior police officers have attended these training<br />
courses. Furthermore, Model Thana trainers have conducted six training courses for 118 Model<br />
Thana personnel.<br />
Raising awareness on community policing<br />
A training video has been developed on Community Policing and 2000 copies are being<br />
distributed to all <strong>Police</strong> Stations, Model Unions, Ranges and districts for better understanding<br />
and involvement of people in Community Policing;<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Outcome 5: Promoting Gender Sensitive Policing<br />
Raise gender awareness<br />
In this quarter three gender orientations were held in Banchrampur, Brahmanbaria and Bahubal<br />
Thanas. This is a regular programme of PRP. A total of 136 (129 male and 7 female) police<br />
officers attended the orientations.<br />
Three hundred copies of “What is Gender” and “Gender Guidelines” were distributed among the<br />
sub-inspectors and constables to create awareness of gender sensitive policing.<br />
Support to the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Women’s Network (BPWN)<br />
On 18 th July 2012 PRP inaugurated a day care centre at the Rajarbagh <strong>Police</strong> Lines, Dhaka. The<br />
day care centre will provide a safe and secure environment for up to 50 children under the<br />
supervision of an adult while their parents, mainly women police officers, are at work.<br />
The BPWN has organised one computer training in September for women police. A total of 20<br />
women police from different levels participated in the training.<br />
Strengthening capacity of women police in Bangladesh<br />
Three senior female police officers, members of the BPWN, have increased their knowledge of<br />
the operations, management and professional integrity at a five-day conference “Journey to the<br />
Edge” that was held between 9th and 13th September 2012 in St. John's, Newfoundland and<br />
Labrador, Canada.<br />
Two mid-level women police officers travelled to Nepal to participate in a month-long training<br />
course organised by SANGAT, a South Asian Network. The main objectives of the course were<br />
to develop the participants’ conceptual understanding of gender, development, women’s<br />
movement, globalization, human rights and peace among other.<br />
Strengthening Victims Support Centres<br />
A total of 137 victims, including 20 boys, have received services from the VSC in Dhaka and 14<br />
women and girls received services from the Rangamati VSC. During this quarter the Women<br />
Support and investigation Division has received 93 cases for investigation under the Women and<br />
Repression Act 2000 (Amendment 2003).<br />
Construction of 6 VSCs is in progress. Two sites are expected to be handed over by January<br />
2013 while the remaining four sites are expected to be handed over by June 2013. The National<br />
Project Director of PRP laid the foundation stone in two sites during this quarter.<br />
The refurbishment works of Women <strong>Police</strong> and Investigation Division at the Tejgaon Victim<br />
Support Centre are also nearly completed (85%). The facility is expected to be handed over to<br />
the police in November 2012.<br />
Two orientations on VSC services and access to justice for persons with disabilities were<br />
organized for the police officers of 55 police stations of Dhaka Metropolitan <strong>Police</strong> with the aim<br />
of increasing referrals to the VSC. An awareness meeting was organised for the journalists in<br />
Rangamati on 19th July 2012 to raise the awareness of VSC functions and ensure proper<br />
dissemination of VSC information.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Outcome 6: Information, Communication and Technology<br />
Supporting the development of an ICT Master Plan for the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong><br />
Logistics support was provided with the establishment of the new <strong>Police</strong> Telecom and<br />
Information Management offices, located in Rajarbagh, for the proposed staff. This included<br />
assistance with office equipment and office refurbishments.<br />
A presentation was developed and jointly presented (with the Senior System Analyst from PHQ)<br />
at a workshop on Cloud Computing and its possible use for the development and implementation<br />
of applications and systems for government agencies in Bangladesh.<br />
Records, Vehicle and User Management modules from the integrated MIS system developed by<br />
the Government of Bangladesh for the Planning Commission were installed in the MIS section at<br />
<strong>Police</strong> HQ.<br />
Improving crime response and prevention<br />
The implementation of the pilot deployment of the Crime Pattern Analysis System (CPAS) for the<br />
Chittagong Metropolitan <strong>Police</strong> is progressing. The system was installed on the infrastructure<br />
procured earlier and workstations to be used by the CPAS users were delivered to each of the<br />
CMP police stations. Twenty six CPAS (two from each of police stations) users were trained on<br />
a 5-day CPAS training conducted in July.<br />
The development and implementation of the Criminal Identification and Verification System<br />
(CIVS) has commenced. TigerIT was awarded the contract to implement the system that will be<br />
deployed across 58 operational locations in DMP.<br />
Sixty portable Regula 1019 travel document examination devices were handed over to the<br />
Immigration Section of SB for the distribution to 30 border posts around Bangladesh. Forty<br />
Machine Readable Passport scanners, provided by PRP to the Immigration Section, were<br />
integrated with the ForTrack system and installed in the Hazrat Shahjalal Airport and at the Hajj<br />
Camp. The devices cut down the time to process travel documents by 67-75%.<br />
Two workshops were conducted at <strong>Police</strong> HQ to discuss the revision of the current Basic ICT<br />
Skills Awareness training. The workshops, chaired by the AIG ICT, looked the content proposed<br />
for the new Basic ICT Skills training package, considered office software that will be covered and<br />
the duration of the course.<br />
PRP budget and expenditure during the 3rd quarter of 2012<br />
The analysis of the budget and expenditure as of 30th September 2012 shows that the quarterly<br />
expenditure represents 18% of the funds budgeted for the 3 rd quarter. The project has reconciled<br />
the financial status with the IPSAS report reflecting the actual expenditure and encumbrances.<br />
The revised budget for 2012 (January - December) is $ 7,015,361 and the total expenditure to<br />
date ($ 3,999,391) represents 57% of the revised annual budget.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Conclusion<br />
The majority of outcomes planned for this quarter were achieved although some delays were<br />
experienced due to unforeseen factors. Despite this PRP was able to reach several key<br />
outcomes and milestones.<br />
The return of the Draft <strong>Police</strong> Act by MoHA for revision and the formation of a <strong>Police</strong><br />
Committee to review the Draft Act pave the way to restart stalled legislative reform process.<br />
Finalisation and formal approval by the IGP of the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Strategic Plan<br />
2012-2014 was a very significant milestone reached during the reporting period, providing the<br />
vision and strategic direction for the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> for the next 3 years. Another significant<br />
outcome was the inauguration of the very first day care center for Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong><br />
personnel.<br />
PRP continued to work in all project areas on developing the capacity and capability of the<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong>. Activities and achievements for this period include a review of the<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> recruitment process, training needs assessments, a visit to the South<br />
African <strong>Police</strong>, women police participation in a development conference and training in Canada<br />
and Nepal, pilot implementation of ICT crime prevention and biometric identification systems<br />
and delivery of training to 634 participants on topics covering crime scene management, ToT,<br />
training needs assessment, community policing and model thana services. Over 900<br />
participants attended workshops organised by PRP on various issues.<br />
In the 4 th and final quarter of 2012 PRP will give emphasis to the completion of the activities<br />
planned for the year. Additionally, the project team will commence planning of the next year<br />
activities in line with the multi-year project plan.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Section I: Context<br />
Key areas of development and issues related to the subject area in Bangladesh<br />
Bangladesh is a developing nation and a fledgling democracy. Steady economic growth since the early<br />
1990s has resulted in rapid gains in Human Development. Bangladesh is currently on track to meet a<br />
number of the Millennium Development Goals. Despite impressive achievements in a variety of fields,<br />
Bangladesh suffers from weak governance. Access to justice, respect for the rule of law and<br />
knowledge of human rights are generally acknowledged as inadequate.<br />
Law and order, crime and corruption remain serious problems adversely affecting individual safety,<br />
national security and economic growth. Overall, crime remains under-reported and inadequately<br />
investigated by the police, the court system is slow and the prisons are overcrowded. There is a<br />
growing desire from civil society, media, government ministries and international agencies to establish<br />
a more coordinated vision for the justice sector. The UNDP is supporting coordination efforts to<br />
harmonize support to the Justice Sector and has integrated the <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> into these<br />
efforts.<br />
Thus, an accountable, transparent and efficient police service in Bangladesh is essential for the safety<br />
and wellbeing of all citizens, national stability and longer-term growth and development, particularly the<br />
creation of a secure environment which is conducive to consumer and investor confidence. Within this<br />
context the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> have taken important first steps towards reform. The <strong>Programme</strong> is<br />
providing Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> with much needed technical and financial assistance to: undertake<br />
operational, organisational and legal reform; build training capacity; improve the quality of<br />
investigations, operations and prosecutions; consolidate community policing and crime prevention;<br />
make policing more gender sensitive; and introduce cost effective and realistic information<br />
communication technology.<br />
Development Goal and <strong>Programme</strong> Purpose<br />
The development goal is a safer, more secure and stable Bangladesh, where the human rights of<br />
citizens, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised, are promoted and protected to accelerate<br />
progress on the MDGs, economic growth and social justice. The purpose of the programme is to<br />
improve safety, access to justice, and human rights for all citizens, particularly disadvantaged and<br />
vulnerable groups such as women and children.<br />
Target beneficiaries<br />
The Bangladesh people, in particular, the disadvantaged, the poor, women and children are the target<br />
beneficiaries of the PRP. The <strong>Programme</strong> has a national scope and provides support to the police and<br />
the community in both metropolitan and rural locations. The <strong>Programme</strong> focuses on the<br />
disadvantaged, poor, ethnic minorities and women and children. These groups have traditionally<br />
suffered from an inability and unwillingness to access justice due to an imbalance in power<br />
relationships. The <strong>Police</strong> also benefit from increased capacity and job satisfaction, improved morale,<br />
image and social standing.<br />

Progress on the Draft <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance 2007<br />
The project held two meetings in June and July 2012 with key stakeholder representatives to<br />
help facilitate reactivating the <strong>Police</strong> Act revision process. In July the IGP received a letter from<br />
MoHA indicating that the 2007 Draft <strong>Police</strong> Ordinance should be revised. In response to the<br />
request from MoHA a <strong>Police</strong> Committee has been formed to review the Draft 2007 <strong>Police</strong><br />
Ordinance under the chairmanship of the NPD of PRP. The Committee has met once in Quarter<br />
3 and will meet regularly in Quarter 4. Additionally, MoHA has initiated the process of<br />
consultations with other relevant ministries but the feedback is not available as yet. Furthermore<br />
the PRP Senior Advisor and others have published a number of articles on the issue and the<br />
press interest on the issue remains high. PRP experts attended a consultation organized by the<br />
A2J Project on a final draft of the revised Evidence Act. It was agreed at the time that the PRP<br />
would undertake a stakeholder consultation subject to the clearance from the NPD of the A2J<br />
project. Thus far PRP has not received the clearance.<br />
In July the PRP received printed copies in English of the two comparative study reports. The<br />
Component is awaiting Bangla versions prior to the formal launch. In the meantime, the reports<br />
have been used to provide input into the revision process of the 2007 Ordinance. A concept<br />
note has been prepared and an SRF approved to make a video documentary discussing the<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Act, to be used for advocacy and awareness in support of revising the 1861 <strong>Police</strong> Act.<br />
The tender process has been started and will be completed in Quarter 4.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
INVESTIGATIONS, OPERATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS<br />
Key Outcome: Improved police operations, investigations and prosecutions to enhance fair<br />
and equitable justice<br />
Key Activities and Progress:<br />
Output 3.1: Investigation and prosecution processes changed from confession to<br />
evidence based procedures<br />
Activity 3.1.1 Support Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> MoHA, MLJP, High Court, Attorney-General’s<br />
office and other concern authorities to establish a working Group to deal with<br />
the strategic, operational and scientific development and use of forensic in<br />
criminal investigation and trial procedures.<br />
Contributed to an ongoing review of the Evidence Act<br />
PRP contributed to the ongoing review of the Evidence Act during this period. In collaboration<br />
with the UNDP Access to Justice (A2J) Project, PRP provided a detailed submission in response<br />
to the first draft of the Proposals for <strong>Reform</strong> of Bangladesh Laws Relating to the Admissibility of<br />
“Scientific Evidence” that had been prepared by an A2J consultant. PRP also participated in a<br />
consultation meeting arranged by A2J to discuss further the received submissions and offered to<br />
facilitate further consultative meetings on the matter with senior ranking police officials and<br />
representatives from the Attorney-General’s Department. Various attempts by the A2J to obtain<br />
authority to engage the Attorney-General’s Department were unsuccessful and the recently<br />
appointed head of the UNDP Justice Sector Facility has taken responsibility for gaining the<br />
authority for the Attorney-General’s Department to participate in the ongoing consultations.<br />
Sub-Activity 3.1.1: Provide further support to the Forensic Working Group to enhance the use of<br />
forensic procedures in investigations and trial procedures (as per draft<br />
Forensic Science and Crime Scene Management Strategy).<br />
PRP conducted a rapid assessment of the Dhaka Chemical Laboratory<br />
PRP conducted a rapid assessment of the Dhaka Chemical Laboratory in preparations for the<br />
development of the 2013 annual work plan (AWP). The Head of the Chemical Laboratory<br />
identified a number of specific training activities that are required by his staff and these requests<br />
were considered as part of the development of the draft 2013 AWP.<br />
Activity 3.1.2: Support efforts to develop a Forensic Science Strategy and on the basis of the<br />
strategy, procure forensic equipment which is sustainable and cost effective<br />
and assist the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> to train personnel in their use.<br />
A Forensic Working Group workshop was conducted<br />
A Forensic Working Group workshop was conducted to assess the progress of implementation<br />
of the IGP’s order requiring each district/metropolitan area to produce a monthly report showing<br />
how many exhibits were seized during investigations, their details and if/where they were sent<br />
for analysis. This assessment was undertaken to determine to what extent investigators are<br />

seizing evidence and whether they have forensic analysis conducted if appropriate. The assessment<br />
determined that the monthly returns are only including data on the seizure of drug-related exhibits<br />
so further Forensic Working Group Meetings are planned to address this shortcoming.<br />
Provide further support to the Forensic Focus Group to develop an annual budget for Dhaka<br />
and Chittagong Forensic labs (linked to forensic strategic plan).<br />
The Forensic Focus Group chose to consider the shortcomings with the monthly exhibit return as<br />
mentioned in 3.1.2 above in preference to discussing the annual budget as they wanted to determine<br />
the number and type of exhibits being sent for analysis prior to considering the budget implications.<br />
Support the Chemical Lab of Mohakhali to supply 10 workstations for effective working<br />
environment.<br />
This procurement was included in a large scale process that combined the procurement of<br />
equipment and furniture for multiple PRP components related to the renovation of policing<br />
establishments. This process was followed in order to obtain value for money through economies of<br />
scale as opposed to smaller individual procurements. While there is no doubt that goods are being<br />
procured at cheaper prices the disadvantage is that complex procurement processes take longer to<br />
supply the equipment. The CAPC considered the procurement requests during September 2012.<br />
Purchase Chemicals for Chittagong Forensic Lab.<br />
There have been multiple obstacles associated with this procurement process. The initial SRF<br />
was raised in November 2011 but the vendor failed to deliver any of the items and the contract was<br />
cancelled. A new SRF was raised in June 2012 but the resulting tender process failed to identify<br />
any technically qualified supplier. The UNDP Procurement Section is currently considering its<br />
options to identify a suitable supplier for these chemicals.<br />
Purchase 400 Crime Scene Kits for selected Thana (linked with Crime Scene Training &<br />
forensic strategy).<br />
PRP has completed the programme level requirements to procure 400 crime scene kits during<br />
Quarter 3. The CAPC approved the procurement of 400 crime scene kits (on 26 July and 18<br />
September) and PRP is now waiting for the arrival of equipment to distribute it to police stations<br />
across the country.<br />
Digital Camera (400 cameras for selected police stations linked with crime scene training).<br />
The procurement process is continuing. The SRF was raised on 11th July 2012 and the request is<br />
still with the Procurement Section at the UNDP Country Office. It is understood the matter has not<br />
yet been considered by the CAPC.<br />
Activity 3.1.3: Support efforts to improve basic forensic awareness training, including crime<br />
scene preservation, using modular competency based package that can be<br />
delivered to police and the magistracy, and equipment and support to train<br />
police in offender fingerprints, offender photographs.<br />

Twenty courses were conducted during Quarter 3 and 355 investigators and investigation<br />
supervisors have successfully completed the training. The training consultant assessed the crime<br />
scene management training conducted in Chittagong. His assessment showed that the training<br />
was conducted at an acceptable standard.<br />
Training consultant for Component 3 to facilitate training programmes (short term)<br />
The national consultant continued his work throughout Quarter 3. The high standard of outputs<br />
delivered by the consultant is acknowledged and he has carried out a range of training related<br />
activities under the Component 3, including the assessment of training courses and the<br />
development and delivery of specific training.<br />
Printing and distribution of IEC materials<br />
Posters on forensic awareness, crime scene preservation and the protection of physical evidence<br />
were distributed to every police station in Bangladesh (18,000 in total) to raise the awareness. Ad<br />
hoc visits to a small number of police stations have confirmed that the posters have been displayed<br />
in prominent positions as requested in the distribution guidelines.<br />
Output 3.2:<br />
Investigation capacity for both general and specialised crime improved, in<br />
particular for crimes against women and children, THB, sexual<br />
abuse/assault, serious and emerging crime, counter terrorism, financial<br />
and cyber-crime.<br />
Provide support to Dhaka Metropolitan <strong>Police</strong> to develop training course and roll out<br />
training<br />
The Training Section of the Dhaka Metropolitan <strong>Police</strong> requested PRP (Components 2 and 3) to<br />
support the development and facilitation of a 4-week investigation skills course for the DMP<br />
investigators. PRP supported the DMP to conduct a rapid training needs analysis (TNA)<br />
resulting in the identification of modules to be included in the training. PRP also offered to<br />
support the development of the course, support the DMP Training of Trainers programme to<br />
roll-out the 4-week course and then to fund the training on a consecutive basis. The DMP were<br />
grateful for the offer of support, however, the project was not in a position to allocate immediate<br />
resources to the development and facilitation of the course and the DMP undertook the training<br />
independently.<br />
Activity 3.2.1<br />
Support Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> to enhance the capacity of Criminal Investigation<br />
Department, Special Branch and Detective Branch to deal more professionally<br />
with crimes related to women and children especially trafficking in human<br />
beings (and internet child pornography).<br />

PRP facilitated a consultation process involving senior police and the drafting committee of the<br />
Implementing Rules for the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act to ensure that<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> had input into the drafting process of this important legislation. The<br />
consultations had a strong focus on the investigations process, protection and support to victims<br />
and on enhancing international cooperation on combating transnational human trafficking crimes.<br />
PRP facilitated a workshop with the Serious Crimes Investigation Working Group in order to<br />
identify the key areas for PRP support to the CID and serious crime investigation during 2013.<br />
The Working Group also discussed the draft Concept Note on Enhancing the Investigation of<br />
Serious Crime and participants provided a wide range of inputs related to serious crime<br />
investigations that will be reflected in the revised draft. The Working Group also requested PRP<br />
to consider supporting the following areas in 2013:<br />
• Training for investigators in blood splatter analysis, arson and explosives<br />
investigations.<br />

to confirm the identity of detained persons, provide alerts to alert investigating officers that a<br />
person of interest was detained and help with tracking the detainees.<br />
Activity 6.2.4<br />
Support to develop information sharing mechanisms to share information<br />
nationally and internationally (for example, Border management and INTERPOL)<br />
Immigration department of Bangladesh has been strengthened<br />
Sixty portable Regula 1019 travel document examination devices were handed over to the<br />
Immigration Section of SB for the distribution to 30 border posts around Bangladesh. The devices use<br />
AAA batteries and permit examination of document security features, e.g. using ultraviolet light.<br />

Forty Machine Readable Passport<br />
scanners, provided by PRP to the<br />
Immigration Section, were integrated with<br />
the ForTrack system and installed in the<br />
Hazrat Shahjalal Airport and at the Hajj<br />
Camp. The scanners permit automatic data<br />
entry of personal data from a travel<br />
document and automatically take images of<br />
the personal data page, showing security<br />
features visible in ultraviolet and infrared<br />
light. The scanners are also capable of<br />
reading data from passports and travel<br />
documents fitted with a chip. According to<br />
the immigration officials, the time to process<br />
each passenger was reduced by 67 – 75%.<br />

This statement has been prepared based on the IPSAS report in ATLAS and PRP accounts as of<br />
30th September 2012. The project has reconciled the financial status with the IPSAS report reflecting<br />
the actual expenditure and encumbrances. The reconciliation resulted in journal adjustments<br />
reallocating the expenditure between quarters and, hence, negative utilization in some components<br />
and activities in Quarter 3. The effect of the change in the accounting system (ATLAS detail<br />
expenditure report to IPSAS report) will balance out in the 4th quarter (Annual Expenditure report).<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
Section-IV: Conclusion<br />
Despite some challenges PRP components were able to achieve the majority of outcomes planned for this period.<br />
More notably, there were several key outcomes and milestones reached during this reporting period.<br />
The return of the Draft <strong>Police</strong> Act by MoHA for revision and the formation of a <strong>Police</strong> Committee to review the Draft<br />
Act pave the way to restart the stalled legislative reform process. Finalisation and formal approval by the IGP of the<br />
Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> Strategic Plan 2012-2014 is a very significant milestone reached during the reporting period,<br />
providing the vision and strategic direction for the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> for the next 3 years.<br />
PRP, working in collaboration with the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong>, continued to expand and improve services to the<br />
disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. The construction of six divisional Victim Support Centers is moving forward<br />
and the new Women Support and Investigation Division will soon have refurbished premises. The existing Victim<br />
Support Centres in Dhaka and Rangamati are fully operational and have provided services to 151 victims during<br />
this quarter. Six new fully constructed model thanas were handed over to the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong>, with the<br />
Gangachara Model Thana formally inaugurated by the IGP, and the construction of fifteen new Service Delivery<br />
Centers is progressing.<br />
Gender orientation and victim support workshops were held at three model thanas and two VSCs to create<br />
awareness of gender sensitive policing and victim support sevices. Working with the local police and Community<br />
Policing Forum members PRP organised six joint workshops on Community Policing in Bogra, Rajshahi, Natore,<br />
Munshiganj, Gazipur and Manikganj to facilitate identification of mutual areas of cooperation between the district<br />
police and CPFs. In addition to supporting the participation of women police in leadership and management<br />
conference in Canada and development training in Nepal PRP achieved a first for the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> with the<br />
inauguration of the very first Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> day care center at the Rajarbagh <strong>Police</strong> Lines.<br />
Capacity development of the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> was another area of focus for PRP in the 3rd quarter. During this<br />
period 355 police officers were trained on Basic Crime Scene Management, 192 on Community Policing and model<br />
thana services, 41 on TOT and training needs assessment, 26 on the Crime Pattern Analysis System and 20 on<br />
computer use. Training on crime scene management was further reinforced with the distribution of posters on<br />
forensic awareness, crime scene and evidence preservation to every police station in Bangladesh. Training needs<br />
assessments and a review of the recruitment processes were also carried out and the Detective Training School<br />
was refurbished. A very significant outcome was the study tour to South Africa where the delegation from MoHA<br />
and the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> visited South African <strong>Police</strong> training institutions and specialised units.<br />
The work on enhancing the capability of the Bangladesh <strong>Police</strong> has continued. PRP provided portable travel<br />
document examination devices for border control posts and PRP-supplied Machine Readable Passport scanners,<br />
capable of reading data from passports with data chips, were installed at the Dhaka international airport and the Hajj<br />
camp, providing better means to detect forgeries and reducing processing time. The development of a pilot Criminal<br />
Identification and Verification System for DMP has commenced and the pilot implementation of the Crime Patter<br />
Analysis System in Chittagong is progressing, with the former using biometrics to identify detained persons and the<br />
latter gathering crime incident profiling information to identify areas for targeted police response. Records and<br />
Vehicle Management modules were installed in <strong>Police</strong> HQ in preparation for a system pilot later on this year. PRP<br />
also procured 400 crime scene kits and digital cameras for police stations to enhance crime scene management.<br />
Some challenges were encountered during this quarter, hampering implementation of certain activities. A common<br />
issue was scheduling and availability of participants, e.g. for planned public events. Unforseen procedural and other<br />
delays also impacted on activities such as launching of legislative reform reports, Heads of Training meeting, a<br />
survey of police investigators and construction works at selected model thanas and VSCs.<br />
In the 4th and final quarter of 2012, PRP will give emphasis to the completion of activities planned for the year, with<br />
further capacity development constituting a major part of these activities. The project team will also commence the<br />
development of the next year’s Annual Work Plan in line with the multi-year project plan.<br />

Upgrading cops' status<br />
Muhammad Nurul Huda<br />
A report in a daily newspaper<br />
informs us that the government<br />
has upgraded the post of police<br />
inspector to class one from class<br />
two, and those of sergeant and<br />
sub-inspector to class two from<br />
class three. According to one<br />
considered view, this up-gradation<br />
will have very significant impact on<br />
the morale of policemen and thus<br />
on the overall law and order<br />
administration. One has to wait to<br />
see the outcome. There is,<br />
however, no denying that the<br />
present government has taken a<br />
laudable step by fulfilling a long-felt<br />
demand of mainstream policing.<br />
The cynical observer would say that cops' status has been upgraded in the eyes of the<br />
government but their real status in the society would depend on their conduct and performance<br />
vis-à-vis the members of public. In other words, the crux of the matter is whether the cops would<br />
serve the establishment's interest without venturing to check its legal standing and if they would<br />
work as true public servants maintained by public money.<br />
Answers to the above queries would not be easy to come by, as policing in this part of the world,<br />
for reasons well-known, is yet to be a respectable profession. That, however, has not prevented<br />
the guardians from waxing eloquent on the virtues of an impartial professional police<br />
organisation. The reality is that while their concern is admirable, remedial actions on ground<br />
have been less than adequate.<br />
Those wishing to take a deeper look into the status question may find that the public do not trust<br />
the police although they have to depend on them. Even if the public starts trusting the police, the<br />
law does not. This puts the police in a unique predicament. The mistrust between police and the<br />
public is a historical creation. Laws which govern the police were created to raise the trust of the<br />
people in British Empire so that the colonial occupation could continue forever.<br />

<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Reform</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (Phase-II)<br />
When the police were organised, they were given a low status, a low salary, but more fetters so that<br />
they could not really serve the people but only the masters who were ruling the people. This<br />
background has to be understood clearly while studying the evolution of police in our country. There is<br />
a consensus that the police has been misused and abused, leading to the decline in the rule of law and<br />
thereby increasing distrust in police performance. This factor is directly related to the status question.<br />
The laws of crime, evidence and procedure dating back to mid-nineteenth century and designed to<br />
serve the colonial interests of an imperial power still govern the day-to-day functioning of our police<br />
force. The question is: can a colonialist police meet the needs of a free society in a flux It would not<br />
be an exaggeration to say that most efforts at reform have met with increasing resistance from the<br />
entrenched privileged classes in politics and the so-called civil service. Our society looks at and treats<br />
a policeman with revulsion and contempt, little realising that there is no such thing as "scientific<br />
investigation" and "clean interrogation" under a legal system where the guardians of law are not even<br />
recognised as such.<br />
The Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act look upon police officers with distrust, which<br />
lowers their morale, reduces their efficiency and affects their character. The considered view is that<br />
the public cannot be expected to trust the police when the law of the land does not do so. This<br />
distrust of the police is not only widely known but also manifests itself every day in courts<br />
throughout the country. It is thus not unusual to see police officers resorting to padding of evidence<br />
and other dubious methods partly because what they do and what they say are invariably looked<br />
upon with suspicions. The question is how can the police function if they are not trusted<br />
In our country the law maintains that statement of witness recorded by the police need not be<br />
signed by them. Confessions made before a police officer are not admissible in evidence. Even<br />
when the fact of recovery of a crime weapon becomes admissible, any self-incriminating statement<br />
of the accused will render it suspect before the court and a conviction can be sustained only on<br />
independent evidence of witnesses. For example, if the police officer is the only witness in a crime<br />
like murder, rape or robbery, a conviction cannot be sustained merely on his evidence.<br />
The increasing violence, the changing patterns of crime, more sophistication of weapons used in<br />
crime and the general atmosphere of insecurity demand a review of the provisions of law to<br />
empower the police for effectively dealing with lawless activities. We have to (a) free the police from<br />
the clutches of extraneous forces (b) make the police accountable to people and law (c) improve<br />
police credibility by reposing more trust in his depositions, at least at the assistant superintendent<br />
level (d) raise his status to make him trustworthy in the eyes of the citizen (e) regulate police<br />
behaviour through internal controls and external supervision through an independent agency.<br />
The above steps may appear unusual for transforming an organisation abruptly from being<br />
unreliable to being virtuous. But there is no alternative left to us. The way character, ethics and<br />
morals are being lowered; the manner in which educated people flout the law; the helpless way in<br />
which the state is witnessing the ordeal of the citizens compels us to do something drastic. When<br />
trust is reposed in police, there will be proper response also to honour the trust. There should be no<br />
premonition that the situation will not improve. It will once substantive police reforms are started. In<br />
such a scenario, the real status of the police would desirably and appropriately be stable.<br />
