Policing outside Dhaka has taken a sophisticated turn for the better with emphasis on use of modern technologies, Western scientific evidence collection techniques, new vehicle fleet, introduction of armoured assault vehicles, multi-purpose crisis response teams that can perform counter-terrorism action, hostage rescue and apprehension of dangerous armed criminals.

Bangladesh's Home Ministry's response to violent extremism has been fast and effective so much so militant attacks have dropped to single digit figures and those that have been carried out were largely unsuccessful due to stern action taken by the law enforcement agencies.

In the next phase every upazila will be allotted with armoured assault vehicles, there will be C-IED teams equipped with UGV's, forensics vehicles and mobile command centres.

Secure digital communications relay towers are being established across Bangladesh to ensure Police have their own mobile and VHF/UHF network coverage enabling them to transmit video, audio, critical data live from the field to static command centres. CCTV networks are also being established at key point installations, important roads and near government infrastructure.

Thanks for posting these!

I wonder in the event of an anti terrorist operation, who would be leading it? CRT/ SWAT or RAB? How relevant is RAB with the development of these teams?

Nowadays CRT/SWAT/Army's CTU lead the charge in special operation as they mainly created for this sole reason while RAB/Police but i even saw RAB participating in special operation once recently. Unlike CRT/SWAT, RAB is a specialized unit created with members from all types of wings to handle every types of criminal like Police.

Wow even Ansar VDP has better personal weapons than most of the Tatmadaw it seems...and they are definitely not the best equipped armed force we have.

No offense but the camouflage is rather unorthodox. Standard Russian color is 4BO olive green and the tropical camouflage for Thailand and Malaysia are shown below. Haldi?? They should tone it down, not make it fluorescent...so khaet...
