The Bangladesh Police is moving forward with a significant expansion of its workforce through two separate recruitment drives. The department will undertake direct recruitment of 4,000 sub-inspectors to strengthen its operational capacity across the country.
In addition to the direct recruitment initiative, authorities have scheduled a special Bangladesh Civil Service examination to fill between 400 and 500 assistant superintendent of police vacancies. This specialized examination will follow the established civil service recruitment framework and is expected to attract candidates from across the nation.
The dual recruitment strategy aims to address persistent staffing shortages within the police force and enhance law enforcement capacity. The direct recruitment of sub-inspectors will provide immediate personnel to frontline policing operations, while the competitive civil service examination for ASP positions will ensure merit-based selection for middle-tier management roles.
Detailed recruitment timelines, eligibility criteria, and application procedures are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, according to police officials overseeing the recruitment process.
