webfact Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The BiB or Boys in Brown are set to become the BiK or Boys in Khaki if a new uniform being trialled meets with force and public approval. The initiative for patrol officers is the brainchild of new RTP chief General Suwat Chaengyodsuk. He feels that the current uniform is not sufficiently functional. The new one is made of thinner khaki colored material and will permit more air flow and allow greater movement, reported INN News. Thirty of the uniforms are being trailled at three metropolitan stations who have got ten each. The public in the jurisdictions of Bang Yi Khan, Bukkhalo and Chakrawat stations will be asked their opinion of the new styles. Further details were set to be given today by Pol Gen Manu Maekmork deputy commander of the met force. The old style of uniform will be kept for many officers no matter what is decided for the patrol cops. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-03 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 As much ridicule as people will want to throw at this just because it involves the Thai Police.... This is actually a good idea, providing more comfortable uniforms. IMO - they look better too. That said, others will point out and they won’t be wrong - this will in no way improve policing !!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Police and military should be kept very separate IMHO. I like the UK idea. Dixon of Dock Green ain't Rambo. In your army you want Rambos, in your police force you want Dixons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it allowed much, much less movement than at present, maybe it would prevent them sitting on their backsides so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 2 hours ago, VocalNeal said: Surely they could chose a uniform that looks more police and less army? Why? The RTP is frequently recognized as the fourth armed force of Thailand since their tradition, concept, culture, skill, and training are relatively similar to the army and most of their officer cadets need to graduate from the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School before entering the Royal Thai Police Cadet Academy. Officers also undergo paramilitary training similar to the army but with an additional focus on law enforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fortunate stroke of luck that the new RTP chief General has family, or friends, or colleagues, or creditors....who just happen to own a "sufficiently functional" uniform factory.

Popular Post gunderhill Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yes, Must look good when doing bugga all all day. Reminds me of my Wife's recent trip to a Thai courthouse to enquire about a theft case she's involved with, instead of helping her they reprimanded her for the dress she was wearing and were not interested in helping her trying to retrieve over 100k baht for her customer. Pathetic, the whole charade of appearance over substance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
