What's new

Law Enforcement Agencies And Other Forces Of Bangladesh

Possibly deployed at the Airports, although there exist a separate detachment known as Airport Armed Police Battalion (APBn), I have only ever seen them at the Dhaka Airport, easy to spot from the Half Sleeve Maroon T-Shirt that they wear and their badge.

SPBn are probably the guys you see at the other airports, I've seen such armed and well trained mean looking fellas at CTG airport and they sure as hell aren't APBn.


The Bangladesh police is a very disorganized organisation, one look at it and you can tell, how everything is a Hodge podge of different obsolete forces created by some directive, only to never be disbanded.



The Taurus SMG is also used by the Counter Terrorism Units that have been set up in all metropolitan cities post 2016 Holey Artisan Tragedy.




A few photos of APBn :

What's the difference between CID and DB?

CID works nationwide and DB is under DMP's authority.

There is absolutely no reason we need to import these, we can make them locally, like they do in Pakistan.

I don't think BOF care to produce 2500 SMG solely for police as the organization is basically under army's control. It has bigger demand for assault rifle, HMG and other things. Also army has better choice for SMG like KRISS, SIG MPX.

I am wondering now what the SPBn does? Too many different types of commando units. I know the there was a special commando unit (SS) protecting the PM, but that may not even be a part of the police, the SPBn probably took over that role.

SPBN provides aerial protection for important personnel and places like PM's office, residence and SSF still provides protection to PM, President and VVIP figure.

They are just for airport security under APBN. This is actually APBN with different blue camo, they were here before airport police. They are the ones who will guard Congo Airport. SPBN is a different thing. Every unit server particular purpose. Nothing is disorganized.

By the way SPBN has been increasingly arming themselves with Taurus SMG's from Brazil. There is absolutely no reason we need to import these, we can make them locally, like they do in Pakistan.

There are multiple layers of security that protect the PM and the president.
SSF provides close personal protection detail which remains glued to the principal, acting as a mobile human shield, and prioritises moving the principal away from the threat over neutralising the threat.
The next layer is formed by PGR who are responsible for taking on the threat directly allowing the close protection detail room to evacuate the principal. PGR personnel typically position themselves within the perimeter of the installation the principal is attending.

The third layer is provided by the Security and Protection Battalion (SPBn) who typically position themselves outside the perimeter and are hence the most visible outside the PMO, Ganabhaban and Bongobhaban. Their job is to deny perimeter access to the threat.

The SPBn has largely replaced regular APBn and DMP personnel in this third layer as the latter lack specialised training for protecting KPIs.

SPBN doesn't work with PGR and guard outside perimeter of Bongobhaban. You will only see them around parliament, PM's office and residence. Few polices stay at the check-post outside Bongobhaban.

Hmm...maybe they do not have enough manpower just yet to serve Bangabhaban constantly.
