The Commander of Provincial Police Region 2, Police Lieutenant General Yingyos Thepjumnong, led a delegation of senior officials from Thailand’s eastern provinces on a visit to the Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) at the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) in Bangkok. The visit aimed to explore cutting-edge crime-fighting technology and discuss deeper collaboration to strengthen public safety across the eastern region.

 

Accompanied by key regional figures such as Mr. Poramet Ngampichet, Mayor of Pattaya; Police Major General Thawatchakiat Jindakornsanan, Chonburi Provincial Police Chief; and Police Major General Theerachai Chamnarnmor, Region 2 Investigation Commander, the delegation was warmly welcomed by Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Bhuridej, Commissioner of the CIB, and Police Major General Saruti Kwangsopha, Deputy Commander of the Border Patrol Police and Acting CIB official.

 

The RTCC, a flagship initiative of the CIB, is equipped with a suite of advanced technologies that enhance real-time crime tracking, surveillance, and response capabilities. These include extensive CCTV coverage, 24/7 incident alert systems and integration with national crime databases. Together, these tools empower law enforcement with fast, data-driven decision-making in both investigations and emergency situations.

 

Speaking after the visit, Lt. Gen. Yingyos stated:

 

“If we can achieve full data integration between Region 2 and the RTCC, it will significantly enhance our ability to monitor and prevent crime, particularly in vulnerable areas such as tourism zones, special economic regions and border districts that are often at higher risk of security threats.”

 

He further proposed that Provincial Police Region 2 serve as a pilot model for nationwide collaboration in data-sharing and digital policing under the Royal Thai Police. The goal would be to bolster long-term safety for both residents and international visitors across the eastern provinces.

 

The visit marks a significant step toward modernising law enforcement operations in Thailand. The integration of real-time intelligence and inter-agency cooperation reflects a growing recognition of the need for technological innovation in tackling 21st-century crime challenges.
