Over the years, the previous governments used police to suppress the opponents merely for political ends. To attain this goal, police from top to bottom have been politicised. As no political government is in power now, the police are proving their worth. In his speech marking the Police Week, 2007, Chief Adviser Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed stressed the need for a radical reform to the police force. But with the present manpower, resource, infrastructure and salary scale, it is not possible to improve the service of the police to a satisfactory level. In addition, our police lack a sound mindset. So, change of police mindset is a pressing need. This mindset may change to some extent if recruitment of police personnel is done in a fair and transparent manner.
