Not wanting to point out the bleeding obvious, but ensuring they can shoot you is probably not the #1 item they should work on to gain the public's trust.

As i understand it, very few, if any, will fire their weapon, as they have to pay for their own  Bullets !

Trust and respect should never be freely given, and should always be earned, regardless of position or social status. 

Not the Thai way though, is it. Thai culture regards respect as a right, no matter whether the person in question is an abuser (read school teacher) or involved in corrupt practises (read everyone else).

The last thing I ever want to see is a drawn gun. They watch too much US TV and news services, which have no credibility whatever. 

it shows the mindset and it is disturbing - clowns

[arick]

Burp sorry many people eat out of date sausages and like places like Pattaya 

[Surasak]

Looking at the photo, I don't think any one of them has had any training with firearms? What I see looks quite dangerous although the weapon is pointed towards the ground. 

[ChipButty]

Look more like a Para Military outfit,

It's just funny how every NEW chief inspector starts off with "good intentions" that they ALL fail to keep...

He wants to make a big noise and let everyone know he is ready to accept envelopes   get on with the job!

I think that we will soon find out that it is all a big misunderstanding. Where is the laughing policeman when you need him? 55555

The new chief inspector of the Pattaya Police

The old one was corrupt.  The RTP across Thailand is a cesspit of incompetence; laziness; dishonesty; self-entitlement; arrogance.  Pattaya's force just seems more so.

[stix40]

Looks like the Wagner battalion !

make the Pattaya station an organization that the public could trust.

Then make the police accountable to their constituents (aka voters) in the city/district in which they serve versus the National Police Commission that falls under the supervision of the PM.

The RTC needs to be decentralized (not to say the must be a federal police agency similar to the US FBI where enforcement laws apply natiobally) and funded by the local economies of their respective constituents.

Federal funding can be made available to underfunded cities/districts through elected representatives of the Parliament House MP's.

But in the present because of a nationalized police force, police policies tend towards one-size-fits-all or in the alternative randomized local policies. Furthermore, ISOC under the RTM needs to be removed (established by PM Prayut) from oversight of local politics to further local civilian accountability. ISOC's political involvement also "smacks" of the old Communist system of Soviet Political Commissars which is inappropriate for a democratic society.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the use of/understand a lot of the acronyms being used on this site?

If I was to show articles like these to people in the UK,  they would just look at me like I was a complete idiot.

 

Never ever seen such a ' rotten to the core ' alleged legitimate Police force where the majority don't even know the law or how to apply it.

 

The whole system needs scrapping and starting again from scratch.

 

Corruption starts at the highest levels of government and law and order and filters right down to the fruit sellers in the streets.

I'd sooner trust the Devil.

Agreed!  Poor trigger discipline for one thing.

That's going to take a lot of work to overcome many years (decades?) of the standard operating procedures.

[TruthinThailand]

Before rushing off to their usual junctions and haunts to catch Falang with no helmets etc.  Did he mention anything about when the new receipt books would arrive or if the online payment portal would soon be “fixed”.

[Caldera]

They've done nothing to earn that trust, and a lot for the public to distrust them.

[Almer]

I would like to see a mission statement and the dear big chief rise or fall by the missions success, 

[Milad]

What a f*ing joke and rub*bish this artocle is. The police are a bunch of uneducated criminals themselves. They are corrupt id**iot irresponsible officers, especially the Thai police as I have seen from my experience in Thailand

Thanks for the morning laugh, I almost fell  off my chair

[Dont confuse me]

Thai police always good for a laugh ???? 

[Dogmatix]

A picture to inspire confidence.  A row of plods with pistols drawn and fingers on the trigger. Finger should be out of the trigger guard until ready to fire to prevent accidental discharge. What appalling traing.

Corrupt racists, the lot of them
