Beat Policing
In police terminology, a beat is the territory and time that a police officer patrols. Beat policing is based on traditional policing (late 19th century) and utilizes the close relationship with the community members within the assigned Beat to strengthen Police effectiveness and encourage cooperative efforts to make a safer community. Dhaka Metropolitan Police is implementing the Beat Policing in the Dhaka city. In this regard each Police Station is divided into some Police Beats and for each Beat there is an assigned Beat Policing Officer.

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or policing:
“I cannot beat off
Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
Be a man my son by God.
He turned again
To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
