Bangladesh, Singapore boost police ties against transnational crime
Bangladesh and Singapore have discussed strengthening cooperation between their police forces to combat transnational crime, money laundering, cybercrime and terrorist financing.
The issue came up when Philip Ong, Chargé d'Affaires of the Singapore High Commission in Dhaka, paid a courtesy call on Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Ali Hossain Fakir at the Police Headquarters on Monday.
During the meeting, both sides stressed the importance of closer collaboration between the Bangladesh Police and Singapore Police through joint investigations, intelligence sharing and technical assistance.
Philip Ong emphasised the need to develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for conducting joint investigations into transnational crimes and money laundering.
He also highlighted Singapore's potential to provide technical assistance and specialised training to Bangladesh Police in digital forensics, cryptocurrency tracking and cybercrime investigation.
The discussions also covered exchanging expertise in intelligence-led policing and crisis management, as well as stronger intelligence-sharing mechanisms to prevent terrorist financing and crimes committed through social media.
The IGP expressed Bangladesh Police's interest in working closely with the Singapore Police to strengthen law enforcement cooperation and address emerging security challenges, reports UNB.
Senior police officials were also present at the meeting.
