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