Abstract
Police and their functions are very important in criminology. Because it is the principal duty of the police to arrest criminals and conduct them until the conclusion of trial for preventing crime. Police are legally authorized to use force and other means of coercion to execute public and social order. The basic knowledge of crime and criminology is must for the police and that’s why almost in every country of the world has a criminology division for police. And police are manually trained for the knowledge of criminology. It is true that an honest, sincere and effective police force can ensure a happy and peaceful society. Although it is not possible for the police to reduce crime from society completely but it can be controlled and retained in a satisfactory stage.

This study has an assertion and provided some recommendations to the knowledge of criminology for police and to reform the police system in Bangladesh. This article provides strategic policy guidance for the police personnel.

Summary
The science of police was introduced as a branch of social and political economy. Police are a small part of the whole domestic government and an effective agency for the criminal justice system. To prevent and reduce crime the British rulers sometimes enacted some codes like Indian Penal Code in 1860, the Criminal Procedure Code in 1861 and the Police Code in 1861. Though the police Act, 1861 is an adopted law but later the government of Bangladesh inserted some rules and orders in that Act. 4.
