Where the numbers come from. Each number is copied from an official Bangladesh government website (.gov.bd): the national portal, the police, the Tourist Police, the fire service and the district courts; what 999 covers is from news reports. We keep the official numbers of posts (the officer in charge, the duty officer, a station or office), not officers' own mobiles, and leave out any number that looked like a misprint. Every page used, in one place: Sources.

Nobody can add or change a number on this page. If a number is wrong or does not answer, tell us below and we will check it against the source. In danger, call 999 first.
