Zero tolerance for drugs one of five goals set by PHQ
Police have set five new goals in order to be friendlier with people and enhance its service quality. One of the five goals is zero tolerance against drugs, said Assistant Inspector General (Media) of Police Headquarters (PHQ) Sohel Rana in a video message yesterday.
If any member of police is found to be involved with drug trade or consumption, stern action will be taken against them, the AIG said.
"In continuity with this direction by the PHQ, our field level units have started taking necessary steps," he said.
"We are dope testing the suspected members of police and taking measures accordingly," Sohel Rana said, adding that action will be taken if any connection of any member of police with drugs is proven.
As part of punitive measures against such crimes, DMP has dismissed 10 of its members and issued orders to eight others, seeking explanations as to why they should not be sacked.
If they fail to give satisfactory responses within a week, they will be dismissed as per departmental rules, DMP officials said.
