11 DMP police inspectors transferred to different units

DMP Reassigns 11 Inspectors to Ranges and Specialised Police Units

Thebangladaily.com – Eleven unarmed inspectors from Dhaka Metropolitan Police have received new postings in police ranges and specialised units around Bangladesh, following an order issued from Police Headquarters in the public interest.

The transfer directive was signed on Thursday by Additional Inspector General (Administration) AKM Awlad Hossain. It requires the affected officers to complete their release procedures at their present workplaces and report to their newly assigned locations by October 7.

Inspectors who do not join their new assignments within the stated time will be treated as released from their existing posts from October 8. The instruction effectively sets a clear administrative deadline for completing the transition between units.

Postings across several regions

Md Mahidul Islam has been moved to Sylhet Range, where he will remain attached to the Sylhet Range office. Sirajul Islam Khan has been assigned to Chattogram Range.

Rangpur Range will receive two of the transferred inspectors: Tofail Ahmed and Md Hafizur Rahman. Md Yamin Kabir has also been posted to Chattogram Range, while Md Alamgir Siddiq has been sent to Barishal Range and Md Nur Alam to Khulna Range.

These placements distribute officers among several regional police structures, covering areas in the north, northeast, southeast, south and southwest of the country.

Assignments to specialised forces

Several inspectors have been transferred to units with particular operational responsibilities. Md Mehedi Hasan and Md Nazrul Islam have both been posted to the Armed Police Battalion, commonly known as APBn.

Thakur Das Malo has been transferred to the River Police. SK Khoda Newaz has received a posting with the Tourist Police.

The order therefore includes both geographic transfers to police ranges and assignments to specialised organisations. Each receiving office or unit will become responsible for the officers after they formally join their new duties.

Full list of transferred inspectors

The officers named in the directive are Md Mahidul Islam, Sirajul Islam Khan, Tofail Ahmed, Md Mehedi Hasan, Md Hafizur Rahman, Thakur Das Malo, SK Khoda Newaz, Md Yamin Kabir, Md Alamgir Siddiq, Md Nazrul Islam and Md Nur Alam.

Their respective destinations are Sylhet Range, Chattogram Range, Rangpur Range, Armed Police Battalion, River Police, Tourist Police, Barishal Range and Khulna Range. Mahidul Islam’s posting includes continued attachment to the Sylhet Range office.

Transfers of this kind are administrative decisions that change an officer’s duty station or operational unit while maintaining the officer’s role within the police service. In this case, the instruction also specifies the timeline for handover and assumption of the new posts.

Deadline for release and joining

Police Headquarters directed all 11 inspectors to obtain release orders from their current places of work before joining their new assignments. The deadline is October 7.

Failure to complete the process by that date will result in the officers being regarded as stand-released from October 8. This means their previous workplaces will no longer retain them in their existing posts from that day, allowing the transfer order to take effect without further delay.

The notification sets out no additional reasons for the individual postings beyond the stated public interest. It does, however, make clear that the transfers are intended to be implemented promptly and across a range of police offices and specialised units.

For the officers concerned, the next step is to conclude responsibilities at their present stations, secure the necessary release documents and report to the new authorities within the prescribed period. The order places the responsibility for timely compliance directly on each transferred inspector.

The reassignment brings personnel changes to multiple parts of the police structure at once, including regional range offices, APBn, River Police and Tourist Police. The October 7 joining deadline and October 8 stand-release provision establish the schedule for the changes to take effect.
