webfact Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Police chief's drunk cop video leaks out - leads to explanation Picture: Daily News The chief of Nong Khai police was forced to explain what happened after a video he took himself ended up being seen by the public. Chief Phaisan Leusomboon, head of the force in the north eastern Thai province, was trying to make a radio call at the weekend but could not connect. Concerned by this he went to the radio operations room where he found one of his men so drunk that he could barely stand. The officer was out of uniform too. A breath test was ordered and the officer, who admitted to drinking on duty, was found to have 295 milligrams in his blood. He was stepped down and placed on sentry duties for a month. This was according to procedures, said Phaisan. The chief added that it was not his intention for the video to end up in the public domain, reported Daily News. The video he took was intended to remind all station chiefs in the province to make sure that officers under their command are not drunk on duty.

4MyEgo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 He got off lightly, should have also sent him to AA, but then again I don't think they have one in Thailand, or if they did, he would probably have to book 12 months in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I suppose we should count our lucky stars that he was only pissed in the radio room, rather than out on highway patrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) + e was stepped down, and placed on sentry duty for 1 month????? Is the police chief serious??? Should be sacked immediatey, if a policeman goes on duty drunk, he is a danger not only to his self, but the public he is paid to serve and protect. Did i really say that??? serve and protect. That statement does not apply to the RTP. Edited October 30, 2017 by colinneil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the officer in question be found to be under the influence of alcohol while on duty ever again, then yes, sack him on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he was relatively harmless in the radio shack. except for inconveniencing his boss which is where he made his big mistake. Putting him out on the beat only gives him the opportunity to do a bit of quiet extorting of the punters around the neighbourhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have frequently mentioned everything that you consider the rest of us should know about your situation here and you have my sympathy for that. There are many circumstances in which the RTP do serve and protect those that need help and it is daft to say there aren't but you're still saying that you wouldn't use the services of the police in a situation that called for it?

That is very 'nice' of you, but would you hold to the same principle if he was on duty and driving? Seems to be a case, for the copper and his boss, of do as I say not as I do.
