Our police
Protic, HSC student, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
In any country the police is a law-enforcing agency that ensures justice through protecting people against crime. In modern days police is the only force that we can count on for social security. In the distant past, people used to take the law in their own hands. There were clashes between clans, families and individuals. To avoid this kind of bloodshed people were looking for a neutral force to maintain peace and harmony. That was the driving force between the creation of police in the modern sense. We all know that police is bound by the law to arrest criminals. Even in developed countries if there were no police criminals would get a freehand. But our case appears to be very different. Despite having a large police force (police bosses do not admit it), our country has become a haven for criminals. In most of the cases, they go unpunished. It seems the presence of police makes little difference. But we must admit the fact that it is not due to the fault of our police alone. Rather, we ourselves have pushed them to a lower position. Criminality is taking an unusual course. Hardened criminals are moving freely. And every day we hear about some gruesome crimes being committed. It seems we are caught in a vicious circle with no way out. The government has failed to address the issue in right earnest. It is really not credible that nothing can be done against those criminals thriving on the sufferings of people. Discourses on ethics and morality to arouse human sensibilities may work well in checking moral degeneration. We want to build up a new future where justice will prevail.
