Police force must regain their lost glory

From my childhood, I used to look upon the police personnel with reverence. Their presence gave us a sense of security and made us feel assured that they would be able to solve any problem. But with time, the image of our police force is being tarnished, as more and more news of misdeeds of a section of policemen are reaching us. They are committing crimes, from petty ones to murders and rapes, which is just unthinkable.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on June 11, 2015 inaugurated "Police Plaza Concord" in the capital's Gulshan area, a commercial building of Bangladesh Police Welfare Trust. We hope the police force will look after the welfare of the people, not only of themselves.
