In a proactive move to address the increase in crime, Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Torsak Sukwimon organised an active gunman training session yesterday. The event took place at the Border Patrol Police Headquarters in the Cha-am district of Phetchaburi province, located in western Thailand. A total of 150 police officers participated in the training, which aimed to enhance their skills and readiness in handling such situations.

 

Officials from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were invited to serve as course instructors, providing valuable expertise and insights. This collaboration between the FBI and the Royal Thai Police (RTP) not only bolstered the officers’ capabilities but also strengthened the relationship between the two organisations, as highlighted by the Deputy National Police Chief.

 

The training session focused on various aspects of active gunman scenarios, equipping the officers with essential knowledge and techniques to effectively respond to and manage such incidents. The participants were guided through practical exercises and simulations, allowing them to put their newly acquired skills into practice.

Hope they gave them tazer instruction too.  Firearms should be restricted to specially trained armed response teams rather than every plod on the beat!

I don't remember the FBI being involved in well-known active shooter incidents.

Maybe consider inviting Uvalde police to instruct in the practical science of hiding from active shooters instead.

everything.  Thais don't do proactive only knee-jerk reactive usually after dozens of deaths.
