This research examines the role of Bangladesh's national security forces in preventing extremism and countering terrorism. It focuses on intelligence-led policing, specialized counterterrorism units, inter-agency coordination, legal frameworks, community engagement, terrorism trends, and institutional effectiveness. The study identifies substantial progress in reducing terrorism-related activity while emphasizing the continuing need for improved intelligence sharing, public trust, community-based prevention, legal accountability, and adaptation to emerging extremist threats.
