Over the years, Bangladesh has made significant strides in its economic advancement,particularly in addressing issues related to poverty, healthcare, and education. Despite this, inthe last 15 years, the nation continues to grapple with various developmental hurdles, includingthe mistreatment of women and children, the illegal circulation of weapons and money, corruptpractices, and organized criminal activities like terrorism and extremism. By signing on to theSDGs adopted by UN member states in 2015, Bangladesh gained an opportunity to addressmany of these challenges. This study delves into three specific objectives outlined in Goal 16 ofthe SDGs, which hold great relevance to the police and the developmental obstacles faced byBangladesh. The primary focus of the Bangladesh Police is to reduce the security threats facedby citizens, encompassing a wide range of manifestations such as interpersonal and criminalviolence, gender-based violence, as well as politically or religiously motivated acts of violence(Goal 16.1). To achieve this, the Bangladesh Police has implemented various measures,including the creation of a child affairs officer position, a dedicated investigation unit for womenand children, and a support center for victims (Goal 16.2). Additionally, Bangladesh Policeprioritized efforts to curb the illicit flow of financial resources and weapons by combating allforms of organized crime, thereby fostering an environment of peace and stability in the society(Goal 16.4).
