Popular Post webfact Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 Seniority to determine promotions in police force Seniority will be the key criterion in determining the promotions of police officers under the regulations of the Police Commission, which have come into force after their publication in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday. If two officers are of the same rank, the officer who has served in that rank for the longer period is considered as more senior. If the two officers have held that rank for the same duration, the officer who spent longer time in the lower ranks, down to the level of a deputy inspector, prior to the present rank will be considered more senior than the other.

One of a lesser rank can bypass his seniors, again if he has the right amount of money to pay for it. 21 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThreeEyedRaven Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 It could well be argued that it would be best to sack the whole damn force and start again with some people who have the correct moral fiber for the job. When the biggest bribe and protection money takers in the country are the cops, seniority just means a bigger slice of the illicit pie. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unusual in Thailand for jobs and promotions to be purchased in preference to being given out on merit. Greed is always in command. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Loh Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Uniquely Thailand culture to consider seniority rather than meritocracy to determine promotions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 Absolute nonsense... seniority to determine promotions in the police force. The only way a person gets a senior position is by passing over a holdall stuffed with between 6-10 million baht. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotman Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yep, that's the way of all inefficient outfits and organisations that are not fit for purpose. Promotion of the long severing, incompetents. Merit means nothing to these people. Time servers. blocking the advancement of those worthy of it are the death of any organisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
