Police reform panel to set up police strategy and development office

 

 

BANGKOK, 26 February 2018 (NNT) – The National Committee on Police Reform has agreed to set up the police strategy and development office to oversee the restructuring of the Royal Thai Police. 

The committee’s Public Relation Sub-Committee chairman Manit Suksomjit said the committee meeting has approved the establishment of the police strategy and development office under the umbrella of the Royal Thai Police. 

The new office, having a status a command center, will act as a strategic administration unit providing supervision and guidelines, as well as drafting regulations and standards related to the development and the restructuring of the Royal Thai Police. It will take responsibility in creating manuals and service manifests to be delivered at police stations. The timeframe related to each work category will be publicly disclosed. 

The manuals include a user manual for the general public, and operation manual for officials to abide by. The operation manual will mandate a clear work procedures and sequences on who to contact for each case. 

The establishment of the new office will require the amendment of the Royal Thai Police Act to provide more authorities to related agencies as needed.

A manual to abide by...so that was the problem in the past..No Manual..

[inThailand]

If the manuals are not part of the candy crush app they will never be opened let alone read.

It sounds like a new organizational chart (wink wink pyramid scheme) is needed to assure money flows upwards. Required reading if you want to keep your job or move up the money ladder.

So this is the best they can do after nine months of so called work, set up yet another useless bureaucracy.   The junta has embolden the police farce.  Their behavior will probably not improve in the near future.

restructure, redefine all you want; the rubber-meets-the-road in performance of individuals;

this latest Gesture won't have any effect when there are So many unethical and immoral police Already There

[Eligius]

This is all just for show. Nothing substantive will be done. Thai officials are very big on spouting grand words and plans - and then doing zilch to effectively implement them.

[candide]

Then the office will set up sub-committees.....

[RichardColeman]

This is going to be hard meeting to arrange if they all keep being transferred.

[Teacherduck]

Can I be on the panel and suggest the following for starters, fines for unlicensed vehicles, unroadworthy vehicles, unlicensed drivers and motorcycle riders, fines for no helmets, driving on the wrong side and the wrong way, there's 10 million baht a month in revenue .

That's just the beginning.

And the first reform is to have a song banned...'...busy doing nothing working the whole through trying to find lots of thing not to do...isn't just a crime, we'd like to be unhappy but we never do have the time...'

The Thais that bind;  police, politicians and army, the 3 pillars behind Thailands problems with no reform in sight.

There is another powerful force that blocks Thailand's advance into freedom, societal maturity, non-corruption, and democracy, apart from the ones mentioned above - but I won't mention it here ....

So, that's the office set-up . . . lectern, with microphones, Powerpoint screen and chairs for 150 members . . . all we need now are some leaders who've got the slightest inkling as to what 'strategy and development' means and a brain capable of work for at least 5 minutes a day.

Nice one, Bruce, but don't you mean the 3 stooges behind Thailand's problems? Pillars does sound a bit over-the-top for anything Thia bureaucracy related.

Indeed so much good material gone to waste, it could have kept the Monty Python team flourishing into the next millennium.

By maintaining the status quo they are probably making a lot more than that!

Oh yes there will be committees and sub committees and gala dinners and conventions at luxury resorts etc and in two years time after considerable sums of money are spent (incl. skims) nothing will have changed!

Yes, right on! And the funny thing is that the way Buddhism is used in this country is the diametrical OPPOSITE of what the Buddha himself actually taught!

 

Just one small example: the Buddha famously said (in the Kalama Sutta) that people should not 'follow tradition, or follow their teacher, etc., just because it is the tradition or is their teacher.' What do we get from the Dinosaurs in Thailand: 'You must obey the traditions of the good people - don't question - just kowtow and OBEY'!

Yes. it provides not only a very large dollop of social and cultural glue but is has also acted as a direct facilitator (and conduit) for the other mysterious party......

 

The ancient Egyptians,Romans,Chinese and Hindus would have all recognized the set up.

Well, it won't be a very intimate panel then as they are going to have to find a venue which will have to have seating for 25,000 or so.

 

On the plus side-there will be a wealth of experience to call upon.
