Today haircuts, tomorrow the treadmill - Pattaya cops told to smarten up their act

 

 

Pattaya's police chief has ordered his men to smarten up their act.

 

No, it's not an anti-corruption drive - they just need to be more presentable. 

 

After orders came from on high that the force needed some beautification Apichai Krobpetch organised a mass shearing on Sunday.

 

The barbers managed to get through about half of the 470 officers at the station.

 

The regulations are not new, said Sanook, it's just that HQ wants all its officers to present a standard face to the public. Officers that don't comply will be punished.

 

But now the top brass is also turning its attention to the fatties on the force.

 

Porkers will be told to get on the treadmill - or else.

Oh No, Please don't! That's just too funny. I can see the headline next week, "Unusual rise in heart attacks for Pattaya Police."

Hard times for the poor chaps...first their feet in hot soup with the Pattaya floods....now their hair gets the hot water !...

 

....lucky boys however to get free haircuts, right at the station !!

I would recommend to the front copper in the picture that, once the raw materials start to disappear, at such a rapid rate, a number zero haircut is the best option. A trim,  with a bit of added black boot polish, starts to look rather silly !

It's a crying shame that the naturally stiff, spiky Asiatic hair doesn't readily support the deployment of the comb-over isn't it?

Good to see the important stuff being sorted out.

 

It will be shoe shining,   work shops next month.

 

Trouser pressing in January.

 

Flower arranging in February.

 

whilst  a few more hundred people die on the roads, because you guys do bugger all important whilst on duty.

I'm guessing last on this new list will be "DO YOUR BLOODY JOB"!

[klauskunkel]

"I want silky smooth with a twist, please"

"You get shiny bald with a fringe."

Their job is to collect money and pass the Lions share of it back up the line and they do it very well actually.   No time for 'Policing' !

Looks more presentable and convincing to pocket others' money?

[Emster23]

Too bad "smarten up" didn't include being smarter

[Songlaw]

Somehow I don't suspect this is what was meant by, "smarten up their act." Nice try though.

In anticipation of chasing down lucrative smokers they need the edge over 40 a day puffers .

My son has told me that at his Military Training school all personnel, including high ranking officers, must now have their haircut in a particular style. Also to salute in a new way. The order came from on high so the rumour goes.

It doesn't.  The BiB aren't really very good at that.  They are more into shakedowns and swaggering.

[sead]

The order came from the top. Can search more on this. They also have new drills as out with chest and shake your head as salute.

[BigT73]

I wonder if its anything to do with the North Korea visit, where everyone gets the same haircut as their delusional leader.

Make them walk round all the bars/businesses to collect the monthly bribe money.

Don't forget stamp collecting

[spidermike007]

We have no real concerns about corruption. It is well known what we do, and there is an agreement with the powers that be, that in exchange for terrible pay, we get to do as we please, and will never have to face any consequences for it. But, when it comes to hair. That is another matter. That is really important. Grooming is the most important thing. Far more important than doing real police work, engaging in traffic safety to save lives, or keeping the rule of law. Hair is everything.

[phkauf]

It's like putting lipstick on a pig!

[garbolino]

why not smarten their brains too............remember the stupid comment regarding the Norweigan WHO THEY THINK DIED FROM THE COLD..he was in his underpants,  so the photo showed
