Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam on Sunday said the suspected police personnel will have to undergo dope tests and the ones who fail it will lose their jobs. 

The commissioner announced this while addressing the DMP's monthly crime meeting at the Rajarbagh Police Lines Auditorium.

“All of the suspected drug-addict policemen will go through drug tests. If anyone is available positive in the test, he will need to lose his job,” he said, expressing firm stance against drugs in the machine. 

Commissioner Shafiqul also said the policemen connected with drugs already are under intelligence surveillance.

He stressed on preparing a set of drug addicts as per information gleaned from detained drug peddlers and from beat policing. 

“We'd contact their guardians and help their rehab process,” he added. 

The DMP boss emphasized paying special attention to the homeless children who take cheap drugs on the streets - not with any intent to rehabilitate them but rather as potential criminals if they grow up.

Mentioning that the rate of crimes like murder, robbery, mugging is currently relatively lower in the metropolitan area, he urged his fellow colleagues to wthhold the performance and improve service quality.
