US Ambassador to Bangladesh Earl Miller and Embassy representatives of the Diplomatic Security Service handed over the PPE to Shudip Kumar Chakraborty, deputy commissioner of police of the Gulshan Crime Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). The Gulshan Crime Division is on the frontline of defence against Covid-19. The PPE donation helps protect police in their role as first responders, safeguarding communities and people living in Bangladesh, said the embassy. This funding emphasises the long-term US commitment to helping ensure access for all people in Bangladesh to quality, lifesaving healthcare, said the embassy. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police Gulshan Crime Division and other law enforcement personnel, together with health care workers, customs officials, people who work in grocery stores and pharmacies, journalists, and volunteer organisations perform remarkable acts of service every day; they are genuine heroes.
