However, the recruitmentprocess was halted during this government, he added.The police have now greater power, he said, adding that they now need propertraining and incentives.Explaining various activities of the police, Dhaka Metropolitan Police CommissionerNaim Ahmed said the reforms are aimed at turning the police forces into aservice-oriented institution.Director General of Rapid Action Battalion Hasan Mahmud Khandakar, chiefs ofCriminal Investigation Department (CID), Special Branch (SB) and DetectiveBranch (DB), and several senior police officials were present at the meeting.Representatives from Grameen Bank, ActionAid, Karitas, Proshika, Acid Survivors'Foundation, Ain O Shalish Kendra, Bangladesh Manabadhikar SamannayaParishad, Democracy Watch, Shishu Odhikar Foundation and Blind Education tookpart in the discussion.The NGO leaders said the law enforcement agencies are violating human rightsthrough extra-judicial killings, crossfire and illegal arrest.They also sought cooperation from the police in carrying out their activities.
