EU Election Observation Mission lauds police role in election during meeting with IGP

A delegation from the European Union Election Observation Mission paid a courtesy call on Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Ali Hossain Fakir at the Police Headquarters on Monday.

The delegation was led by its chief, Roger Clayton, said a press release.

During the meeting, Clayton praised the professionalism, dedication and coordinated efforts of Bangladesh Police in maintaining law and order during the election period.

He noted that several initiatives — including election-related police training, the use of body-worn cameras during duty and the introduction of a security “pocket book” for officers — played an effective role in ensuring orderly election security.

On behalf of the EU Election Observation Mission, Clayton presented a letter of appreciation to the IGP in recognition of the police force’s role in maintaining stability during the election process.

Fakir, in his remarks, appreciated the role of foreign election observers during the polls.
