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

Police Reform Programme (Phase-II) Outcome 4: Crime Prevention and Community Policing Supporting the renovation and construction of police facilities Progress of the construction of 10 (out of 15) SDCs is satisfactory and the contract targets have been achieved. Progress in the remaining five SDCs has been slower and the construction is behind schedule. In any case, the construction at all sites is expected to be completed by March 2013 as per the contract signed between PRP and PWD. The Gangachara Model Thana Complex in Rangpur District was inaugurated on 3 September 2012. The complex consists of a three storied police building for operational activities and officer’s quarters and barracks. The Police Reform Programme supported the Bangladesh Police to build this new police facility at a cost of BDT 55 million.

Furthermore, Model Thana trainers have conducted six training courses for 118 Model Thana personnel.
