Senior officers from Bangkok Metropolitan Police Division 9 met last week with representatives from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to discuss an ongoing exchange programme aimed at improving police station management systems and community engagement.

The meeting, held on 24 July at 13:00, was led by Police Major General Khomsit Rangsaai, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 9 and Police Colonel Pairoj Nameuangrak, Chief of Administrative Division, alongside Mr Brendon Basford, AFP Liaison Officer in Bangkok, and Mr Kulphat Thaweekul, AFP Assistant Investigator.

The programme centres on a study visit to Sydney and Melbourne, focusing on administrative development, justice delivery, and public participation models employed in Australia’s policing system.

The initiative is part of a professional development and welfare programme for junior officers who have shown outstanding performance in their duties. It aims to provide international exposure and skills enhancement, with the ultimate goal of improving policing standards and offering officers a sense of pride and career progression.

The collaboration reflects a growing partnership between Thai and Australian law enforcement agencies, fostering mutual learning and the adoption of best practices in modern policing.
