About Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP).
 

Our aim is to make the city safe for all and our mission is to work for a better and safer Chittagong.

Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) came into being on 30 November, 1978. Mr. M.M Sharif Ali the first Commissioner. CMP started its course with 6 police stations along with 3238 forces in 1978. Population of Chittagong City stood to be less than 10, 00,000.

The Metropolitan area itself has increased in shape and size year after year. This increased population and area must of course, call for extended quality service. So modernization and improvement of CMP is a demand of time. This concept led to reshaping CMP in respect of force, size, modernization and organizational structure. The big step towards materializing this process is to establish 16 police stations instead of 6.
