Abstract: An extreme level of makeover is needed in the recruitment process for Bangladesh Police so that it may attract talented young university graduates to become police officers, from which it is long being deprived of. This paper provides an overview of research studies conducted through the review on the responses of 1000 students and young graduates of private and public universities of Bangladesh. In particular, this paper probes into the acute problems exist in Bangladesh Police and tries to link those problems with the issue of lack of interest showed by the local graduates to join into the police workforce. Thus, the research findings support this notion and the survey results are discussed in terms of the employee acquisition techniques for the police force wishing to obtain, retain and maintain a workforce of dynamic, young and talented people as police officers of Bangladesh.
