QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT - Police Reform Programme

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