East Pakistan Police

East Pakistan Police was the law enforcement agency responsible for maintaining peace and order in East Pakistan, which is now Bangladesh, during the period before its independence in 1971. They handled crime prevention, law enforcement, and public safety in the region. The force operated under the government of Pakistan and was structured to serve the specific needs of East Pakistan, but it often faced issues related to political tensions and autonomy movements. After Bangladesh gained independence, the East Pakistan Police was reorganized into the police force of the newly separate country.
