The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced a comprehensive reshuffle of its senior leadership, transferring six officials of the rank of Deputy Commissioner (DC) to new operational roles. The strategic reassignments were confirmed via an official administrative order issued on Monday, 6th July, bearing the signature of the DMP Commissioner, Mosleh Uddin Ahmed.
This latest series of postings is designed to optimise departmental efficiency, refresh leadership across key geographic zones, and reinforce administrative oversight within the capital’s primary law enforcement architecture.
The administrative shake-up impacts several vital wings of the metropolitan police, notably shifting personnel between intelligence, logistics, and frontline traffic management.
Traffic-Motijheel and Administration: Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Amir Khasru, previously stationed at the DMP Headquarters and Administration Division, has been transferred to lead the Traffic-Motijheel Division. He succeeds Dewan Jalal Uddin Chowdhury.
Intelligence Analysis: Having vacated his post in the Motijheel traffic wing, Dewan Jalal Uddin Chowdhury has been reassigned to the Intelligence Analysis Division.
Traffic-Uttara and Traffic-Gulshan: In a reciprocal shift within traffic enforcement, Mohammed Shahjahan Hosein has been moved from the Intelligence Analysis Division to oversee the Traffic-Uttara Division. Meanwhile, Mohammed Anwar Sayeed, the outgoing head of Traffic-Uttara, has been transferred to command the Traffic-Gulshan Division.
Headquarters and Logistics: Additionally, Mohammed Shahriar Ali, who was serving in the Detective Branch (Gulshan Division), has been brought into the DMP Headquarters and Administration Division. Rounding off the reassignments, Mohammed Robiul Hasan has been instructed to take over duties within the DMP Logistics Division.
As the primary law enforcement body safeguarding Bangladesh’s capital, the DMP routinely implements personnel rotations to maintain organizational agility. Policing a rapidly expanding metropolis like Dhaka—which faces complex security, administrative, and logistical demands—requires a leadership cohort that is both versatile and highly adaptable.
The targeted changes within the traffic divisions of Motijheel, Gulshan, and Uttara are particularly noteworthy. These regions comprise Dhaka’s central financial district and two of its most densely populated residential and commercial hubs. By introducing fresh leadership to these sectors, the DMP aims to implement more robust strategies to combat the city’s persistent traffic challenges and improve public safety on major thoroughfares.
Furthermore, cross-posting officials between specialised investigative bodies, such as the Detective Branch and Intelligence Analysis, and core administrative divisions ensures a well-rounded distribution of expertise. According to the DMP authorities, the newly appointed officers are expected to assume their respective responsibilities immediately to ensure a seamless institutional transition.
