The Royal Thai Police (RTP) revealed on August 16 that many senior positions in the police bureau will be vacant as 6,293 officers will be retiring from the force on September 30.

 

 

Among those retiring are the three deputy National Police commissioners, namely Pol General Chalermkiat Srivorakan, Pol General Rungroj Saengkram and Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul, as well as RTP deputy inspector general Pol Lt-General Tawitchai Palasak. 

 

Also retiring are 13 police commissioners, including Provincial Police Region 2 Commissioner Pol Lt-General Jitti Rodbangyang, Tourist Police chief Pol Lt-General Thirapol Kuptanon, Office of Forensic Science chief Pol Lt-General Panomporn Itthiprasert and Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sutthipong Wongpin. 

 

In addition, 34 deputy commissioners and 47 police commanders will also be retiring on September 30.

Well, it is a start...

 

Hmm... A question; if they did not fill the positions, would "Somchai on the street" even notice? It bears some consideration...

Just move some of the tens of thousands back from the "inactive post" department................ job sorted !

And no doubt the big chiefs will readily be open to "offers" in order to fill the vacated posts

The best analogy will be " a

 Feeding frenzy"!

Looks like there will be a BIG increase in fake traffic stops this next month, as senior policemen will be pushing juniors to dramaticly increase money intake.

The only way this Nation will move forward is, turn a few pages,and retire  a few dinosaurs..Even with that ,its a stretch...

Maybe a few vacancies for the fairer sex to get a start, In this new acceptance of equal rights.

Golf sales or upgrading of equipment may just get a little stimulus.

Are you worried about being pulled over in Big C in your boy racer machine with go faster stripes?

I reckon they'd get you for overtaking in the express checkout lane.

Will have little or no effect on the crime rate or road mortality!

Here is novel idea. Promotion based on merit.

Hmmmm seems to me that there was an article this week in which was stated that promotions should go by seniority. Now it makes sense, but it would have been nice to have those two articles combined into one...

 

Just a thought

RTP is employing roughly 230 000 officers, so not any major difference.  But why not make the country safer and retire a few more?

Looks like there will be a Pol-Gen fest at the trough ????  

If RTP had got their act together, they would have already filled the vacancies! I find it inconceivable that "Retiring police officers to leave over 6000 posts vacant"! Surely they knew well in advance that there wold be 6,000 retirements!

This is a start now if only the other 224,000 bent coppers would retire we could start all over again with a police force that is actually paid to serve the people and not their own self interests!!!!!!!!

Can we assume then that the incidences of crime statistics will fall ????? ????

people can start saving to buy their next super promotion

which will put them higher on the pyramid scam of getting some extra, ahum, money

Maybe they will be replaced by military.

Unsurprisingly, all their wives have been incredibly frugal with the housekeeping allowance - allowing them to purchase and keep multiple houses.

shame on you for casting doubt on their undoubted business skills and wise enterprise investments in the private sector, using only their Police basic salary. 

A pity the same isn't happening in the army, I can think of at least one (ex-)general whose retirement would make Thailand a better place.

So they only just found out more than 6,000 will retire next month?    

With 6000 leaving parties anticipated, should be easy for many of us to get an invite. 

 

Now, the silly question, what happened to future planning any time in the last ten years?

He's retarded retired already. This is just a part-time job to keep his hand in shouting at plebs.

Someone made off with the funds for the planning committee.
