Bangladesh Police is going to introduce two posts of inspectors in each police station except those in metropolitan areas in order to reduce workload and ensure quality investigations into cases. Information officer AKM Kamrul Ahsan of police headquarters yesterday said the senior inspector of the two will serve as the officer-in-charge (OC) in a police station while the other will monitor investigations. Currently an OC is to monitor case investigations, ensure protocols of the very important persons (VIP) and run the administration, which hamper investigations. Due to lack of proper investigations, many criminals go unpunished, he said. The cases also pile up in the police station due to delay in investigation, he added. Against such backdrops the government has decided to create one more post of inspector in each police station. He, however, has not mentioned the time when such posting will start.
