RTP commissioner-general's promotion of son followed law, regulations, police personnel director insists

By The Nation

 

 

Following complaints against the Royal Thai Police commissioner-general's “unfair promotion” of his son, Personnel Division Police director Decha Kalayawuttipong held a press conference today (February 4) to state that commanders found Chanon Chaijinda – who was promoted from sub-inspector to company commander – trustworthy and skilled, which led to his promotion.

 

Decha said Chanon has been trained as a special forces leader and joined in international programmes including an anti-terrorist one.

 

However, as Chanon has been working as a sub-inspector for less than the recommended seven years, the police had sent the matter to the cabinet for a solution, which received approval on April 30, 2019.

 

“The department considered the promotion based on skill, which applied to the position that relates to field operations with high-risk potential. It also helps create specialist officers. I ensured that all the processes of promotion were met according to the law and regulations,” Decha insisted.

 

Chanon reportedly passed various training courses, such as an EOD course in 2014, the Naresuan 261 anti-terrorism programme in 2016, a free-fall course in 2017, post-bomb investigation from the ILEA in 2018, and a Border Patrol course for police commanders in 2018.

 

He also attended courses from foreign institutions, such as a Firearm Instructor course and a sniper training programme from SIG Sauer Academy in the US; training with the Australia Federal Police Specialist Response Group as well as with the 2nd Commando Regiment in Australia three times; training with France’s Raid Unit; attending a post-bomb investigation programme in the US as well as being part of the FBI National Academy 2019 programme; taking an IMI Academy Sniper course in 2019 in Israel; and participating in the Special Operations Competition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Nepotism at it's best (or worst) !

<deleted> sad.

[Denim]

I believe him. It is one of the few laws respected by the wealthy and powerful.

 

Section 3 of the nepotism edicts subsection 3a.

 

' you shall always advance members of your own family to senior positions if it is in your means to do so.'

 

There it is , in unwritten invisible but accepted ink. Can't argue with the law.

[observer90210]

Of course all was done by the rules. There is absolutely no corruption within the Thai Police. The whole issue is a big misunderstanding. And remember to eat papayA daily as it is the only known cure against the foreigner imported CoronaVirus.

[z42]

These people couldn't lie straight in bed. This is about as above board as his dad having legally declared assets of 1 billion baht.

 

The swamp sure is filling up under this new regime

[phetphet]

USA, France, Australia.  That sure is some junkets he has been on. I wonder how many other officers of same rank have managed to attend such training courses to help their careers.

[colinneil]

Who are they trying to fool?

When is any promotion here done correctly, it is either by being related to a senior officer, or by the size of the brown envelope.

no corruption here, move along,

the law according to him; no doubt he believes in that; the true thai way; o and counting on the general thai stupidity always helps

Talk about conflict of interest.

PM's brother did pretty well for himself, and then brother's son too from what I remember.

We are only repeating the obvious to ourselves.  Going nowhere.

Any chance moderators could read and inform us what Thai press is saying about stories like this instead of launching more repetitive coronavirus threads?

[klauskunkel]

Just look at all these international courses he attended in Australia, France, Dubai, USA... I am sure they are available for anyone with the right Daddy.

I was thinking the same in terms of costs and who paid for it? Unashamed nepotism and cronyism. He doesn't even go red when he is spewing this garbage in press interviews he is so self righteous and thick skinned.

 

Isn't it amazing that today they boast of all the highly rated and skilled foreign courses this guy has been on, meaning they understand and acknowledge that the West is way ahead of Thailand in all aspects of fighting crime, or else why would they send him?

 

  On the other side of the fence, there is a double murder and Scotland Yard wants to bring in expertise to assist the Thais in capturing the perpetrators, and are prepared to bring in the latest in forensics technology free of charge, they are dismissed out of hand and told the Thais have the capacity and can handle it.

That might be because they may get the right person but for thailand the wrong one

Fair enough, now publish the details of the courses the other candidates attended and passed, then we can see the transparancy

And all the other places/trainings he attended.

IT MAKES ME WONDER 'WHO' paid for all those trips ---

guess 1... RTP sponsored

guess 2... Fathers abundant graft money from being a RTP.

My Thai wife has 2 brothers who are RTP in Korat.  I have a bit of real 'insight' as to how Thai cops operate.

As with many factors in Thailand, "Do you know who I am?'' is extremely important.

[Benmart]

It seems that corruption is a daily staple, consumed by those who are fat and overconfident that their diet will never change. When the herd on which they feed becomes tired, they may loose some weight.

No need to read the article or the postings as we can be assured it was all above board and an honest appointment.

Surprise, surprise - next please!

Maybe he was.

He certainly had the background and credentials from international law enforcement agencies.

If preferential treatment secured him those advantages most Thais would call it boon dee - good karma.

Is this story about the Bidens?
