Police pursue ‘Quick Win’ transformation: Thai force targets efficiency and trust

[snoop1130]

 

The Royal Thai Police have launched a fast-track programme, Quick Win, focusing on five key areas to transform the police force into a more efficient and trusted organisation. The spokesman for the National Police Office, Aachayan Kritong, revealed the initiative today.

 

Aachayan explained that the National Police Chief, Torsak Sukwimon, recently briefed the entire force via video conference on the new direction for the police force, aligned with the government’s policies. The vision for the force is to be a trusted, globally standardised crime-fighting and law-enforcing organisation.

 

The Quick Win strategy focuses on five areas for rapid and tangible improvement under the concept of Police’s Home, which includes personnel, systems, welfare, unity, justice, communication channels within the organisation, and creating a good image of the police force that the public can trust.

 

Specific initiatives under the Quick Win strategy include the Return of Time to Police, which aims to reduce the workload of investigative officers and unnecessary paperwork within one month and to cut down meeting times, to allow police officers to devote more time to public service.

 

In addition, the Return of Police to the Public initiative will cancel orders for police officers to assist in administrative matters, focusing their duties back on the police station.

Otherwise known, in many circles as, utter twaddle.

 

Sack half the police and double the remaining half's salary. 

 

Commit a crime and you'll be prosecuted, lose your job and your pension.

it appears there are 6 not 5 key areas  555 .... ""which includes personnel, systems, welfare, unity, justice, communication channels within the organisation"",

wonder what's a Quick Win and how fast they are going to accomplish it. Should we understand they will have to start to work and stop using their mobile phones  555

Absolutely hilarious, they couldn't change their underpants if they wanted to let alone anything else.

Just imagine the amount of resignations upon learning that the global standard of policing involves routine patrols, instead of the current lethargy of sitting in the station twiddling thumbs on the mobile while waiting to respond...

Quick Win

Has'nt it always been a quick win for the cops??? 

[bamnutsak]

Quick Win.

 

Well Big Tor only has one year, so his reforms of the RTP appear to be a huge dollop of lipstick.

 

But it will still be a pig.

Thai Police has actively undermined public trust for decades in concerted efforts. It will take decades of spotless, selfless and efficient service to regain that trust. If you think a "Quick Win" could solve this, then you are either incredibly naïve, hopelessly stupid, or you just don't care.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Heard it all before

Most Thais first encounter corruption from the village cops.  It conditions their future dealings in everything.  This rot is endemic to every facet of Thai society and will take generations to change things not the last year of Torsak's career as a policeman.

   A 'quick win' is not going to do it.  And, it sounds like some made up, useless claptrap from TAT.  No, it's going to take some long, hard, carefully thought out and planned, top to bottom work; not something that can be accomplished in an instant.  That 4-letter word 'work' has reared its ugly head so likely a no-go all the way around.  Quick start, quick no-win.

Cats in hell spring to mind. How is this going to change the public's perception when disregarding the law is in their DNA. 

[fondue zoo]

So like a lottery ticket then, scratch some justice.

Quick win , short time, nappy ending

 

The biggest crooks are untouchable

For some strange reason, I've always seen them as a police farce.

 

On a good day, a particular unit can look like a professional police force, but those days and those units are few and far between.

 

This "transformation" won't change that no doubt. There's no such thing as an easy win when it comes to reforming this organization.

Efficiency often begins after the backhander. Trust? Yes, I believe so. People can trust that things will get done when corruption is involved. There you go. No need for change. System is in place and will remain in place. Let's face it the top guys get their positions how?

[PETERTHEEATER]

'Quick Win'? Speeding motorcycle taxi drivers?

[mark131v]

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in tinsel and make it sparkle, seems strangely apt....

[retarius]

You have to earn trust every day. You earn trust by doing what you are expected to do and by not engaging in corruption. To me, at least, this seems impossible with the current crop of people who run the police, and the regular police officers themselves who are drug dealers, gambling den owners and girlie bar owners or collect money from such businesses.
