Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Saturday directed law enforcement agencies to eliminate middlemen from police stations across the country, including those under Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). He issued the directive while visiting Ramna Model Police Station in the capital where he inspected different sections including detention rooms (thana Hajat room) and reviewed the overall environment. During the visit, the Home Minister also spoke with the Officer-in-Charge and other on-duty police personnel, inquired about their work conditions and listened to their concerns. Emphasising integrity and professionalism, he instructed police members to provide services to the public with honesty, fairness and sincerity. He warned that strict action would be taken if any police officer or member found guilty of negligence or corruption.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun has asked policemen to consider police stations as "service delivery centres" to improve service delivery. He was speaking at the "Police Week 2023" at the Rajarbagh Police Lines Parade Ground in the capital on Thursday. "We will have to make sure that people from all walks of life get the services they need. Also, we will have to gradually improve the quality of service delivery at police stations considering them service delivery centres." "Everyone is now praising the transparency in recruitment, posting, and promotion processes of Bangladesh Police. I would urge everyone to maintain this transparency in all areas."
