Thai police chief gets tough! Get your hands out of your pockets!

 

Picture: TNews

 

The national police chief has had enough of his men lolling about with their hands in their pockets.

 

Jakthip Chaijinda has issued a "top priority" order for his men to look decent when performing their duty.

 

In a directive from HQ for all officers in uniform he also called for an end to officers lounging about, standing with their arms folded or crossing their legs while sitting.

 

Order 0007/01 is a follow-on from recent directives about police wearing their uniform properly and having short back and sides that led to the Pattaya station having a mass shearing of long haired cops.

 

Cops have also been warned to mind their language when dealing with the public who should be treated with respect at all times, reported TNA.

If their hands are in their pockets they can't be in mine. I like it the way it is

You can give them a smart new uniform, you can make them get a haircut, even take their hands out of their pockets, but treating the public with respect at all times?

[canuckamuck]

Now they have rules of proper conduct for inactivity. Well done.

How about telling them to stop shaking down all and sundry, fitting up scapegoats at will, busting people for smoking / having e-cigs, and generally doing the bidding of the very people they should be locking up.. Just a thought ?

Get your hands out of your pockets ok, but he should have said get your hands out of other peoples pockets, get up and do your job properly.

LOLOLOL

 

Should get their fingers out of their noses!!!!

Ah! Waked past a police booth this morning and the windows were open. I thought it strange as they love their air con and love sitting hidden with the tinted windows. Copper inside was having a smoke and chatting to an ice vendor. 

 

Pure professionalism.

In my daughters school every Friday our local police chief takes a class, teaching the students about the police. The students can ask questions and the police officer answers.

 

I asked my daughter what do the students ask? To my amazement she said the students ask questions like, how much johnny walker can you drink? How many girlfriends do you have?

 

I think if the police want more respect it will take a lot more than taking there hands out of there pockets.

Sadly it's the Thai perception of power equalling the opportunity to drink expensive alcohol and have mistresses.

This is conditioning starts at an early age.

 

If only one day, a kid on the ball asks why the police don't do the job they're paid to do, as their parents pay their wages...

No no, I must stop it now.

cops to police chief "how else do you expect us to hold all the cash in"

[mikebell]

This police chief is in danger of alienating his force from the public.  At the moment they do this for themselves.

Well at least he said something about anything, not exactly the most active / most communicative top cop.

Abso-darned-lutely.

[rwill]

strange, how are they using their cellphones with their hands in their pockets?

[natway09]

Big pockets to put the envelopes in.

I know, they got paid yesterday

[ThaiFelix]

Hands are in their pockets to hide those expensive watches

[Khun Paul]

Dear Police Chief RESPECT is earned, your officers need to learn that from day one. Not expect it.

Indeed sir . Plenty of time to lounge about when assigned to an inactive posting.

[Lemonltr]

Maybe they have a hole in the pocket to play ' pocket pool'

[madusa]

Have any of you any good experience with the BIB? I mean they actually went all out to help you.

Well wrong thinking by the public and police department, a policeman can do what he likes, like putting his hand in his pocket, cross his leg when sitting down etc., as long as he does his work well, not asking for tea money and see justice done.

You can have a well behave, clean policeman in every aspect but if he hasn't got a brain it is just useless isn't it? or if he keeps asking for tea -money that not doing any good for the country. Get your priority right forget those little niceties.

[digger70]

What's the good of that,,,Looking smart and Hansome  5555   If they still not doing their job.

[Artisi]

Well that's now well and truly sorted,  so can they now get the irrelevant policing nonsense sorted out with the same importance. 

[holy cow cm]

He has got to be kidding. Normally they are all hands out on their mobile phones surfing.
