The Bangladesh Police (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ পুলিশ) of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh is a law enforcement agency, operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs.[4] It plays a crucial role in maintaining peace, and enforcement of law and order within Bangladesh. Though the police are primarily concerned with the maintenance of law and order and security of persons and property of individuals, they also play a big role in the criminal justice system.[5][6] Bangladesh police played an important role during the Bangladesh’s liberation war.
Bangladesh period [1971 – present] After the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent country on 16 December 1971, the police force was recognised and assumed the role of a national police force.[7] In January 2004, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led government removed the boat from the police force badge because the boat is also the symbol of the then opposition party, Bangladesh Awami League. The police had been using the boat in its symbol since the independence of Bangladesh.[12]
