Problems of Police in Bangladesh
Introduction
Police, agency of a community or government that is responsible for maintaining public order and preventing and detecting crime. It is one of the important agencies within the State territory to maintain peace and security and uphold the internal sovereignty. It is also an important branch of criminal justice with other organs such as courts, prisons, corrections etc. The basic police mission—preserving order by enforcing rules of conduct or laws—was the same in ancient societies as it is in sophisticated urban environments. Crime Detection, discovery, identification, and analysis of criminal evidence are also means of law enforcement. The responsibility of law enforcement agencies is to detect crimes, apprehend the perpetrators, and provide evidence that will convince judges and juries that the perpetrators are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. To accomplish these aims a variety of methods are used, including reconstructing the crime, collecting physical clues, and interrogating suspects and witnesses.

The criminal justice system of most Asian countries still demonstrate the colonial heritage because many of these countries including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been under colonial administration during the past few centuries. Police institution as an important criminal justice agency remains as a major problem in Bangladesh. In this assignment I have tried to find out the problems of police from various sources in our country under following heads:
