Two DMP Deputy Commissioners Transferred

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced the transfer of two of its deputy commissioners to different divisions within the city, signalling a reshuffle aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and law enforcement oversight. The transfer was formalised today, Monday, through an official order signed by DMP Acting Commissioner Md. Sarwar.

According to the office directive, Md. Shahriar Ali, previously serving as Deputy Commissioner of the DMP Uttara Division, has been appointed to the Gulshan Division of the DMP’s Detective Branch (DB). Meanwhile, Mirza Tarek Ahmed Beg, formerly Acting Deputy Commissioner of DB Uttara Division, has been assigned as Acting Deputy Commissioner of DMP Uttara Division. The order specifies that both transfers are effective immediately.

The move is part of a regular policy of reassigning senior officers within DMP to ensure the infusion of fresh leadership and maintain the momentum of investigative and policing operations. Such transfers are considered vital for reinforcing intelligence gathering, operational oversight, and coordination among different divisions, particularly in high-priority areas like Gulshan and Uttara.

Earlier, on 25 March, a previous reshuffle saw one Deputy Commissioner and four Additional Deputy Commissioners reassigned across various DMP divisions, demonstrating the department’s ongoing commitment to strategic personnel management.

The recent transfers can be summarised as follows:

Police officials note that such personnel movements are instrumental in improving coordination between intelligence and field operations. By reallocating senior officers, DMP seeks to address emerging security challenges, enhance law enforcement responsiveness, and strengthen administrative oversight within its metropolitan divisions.

In summary, the latest DMP transfers are not merely routine administrative adjustments; they represent a strategic effort to optimise leadership across critical divisions. Observers believe that these changes will enhance operational efficiency, bolster intelligence-led policing, and ensure more effective public safety management across Dhaka. The reshuffle reflects the DMP’s proactive approach to adapting its leadership structure in response to the city’s dynamic security environment.
