The Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) has taken elaborate programmes marking the ‘Community Policing Day,’ scheduled to be held on October 28 in the city in a befitting manner.

While exchanging views, KMP Commissioner Md. Mozammel Haque said, “Community policing needs public cooperation to achieve its success. So, beat policing should be coordinated with community policing.

In the future, members of Community Policing will play an important role in reducing crimes and different social curses in coordination with the police.”

‘Community Policing Day’ is aimed at making the society free from terrorism, militancy, stalking, drug abuse and child marriage, he added.

The programmes include a colourful rally, discussion, cake cutting and cultural function.
