The government of Bangladesh announced plans to establish the Rangpur Metropolitan Police and Gazipur Metropolitan Police in December 2015 in a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.[6]

The cabinet approved the draft of a law to establish the Rangpur Metropolitan Police.[7]

The Rangpur Metropolitan Police was established by the "Rangpur Metropolitan Police Act, 2018" passed in the National Assembly of Bangladesh on 12 April 2018.[8][9]

In April 2019, the Kotwali police station officer-in-charge was accused of sexual harassment of a female councillor who had gone to the police station.[10]

Nazmul Quader, officer in charge of Haragach Police Station of Rangpur Metropolitan Police, was closed for letting a rapist go from police custody in February 2020.[11]
