Forget it, unless you want to be looked upon as a lackey mate. There is no such thing as 'farang police' and if there suddenly was the local populace would riot.

elkangorito Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 My comments in blue. hello i am a long time farang who is interested in serving a role as farang police in thailand. i see in other thread that farang police are now doing traffic stops and assisting in all matters of society and i am very interested in serving the general public. what is the farang police pecking order and what are some of the responsibilities bestowed upon them? what are possible rankings in the farang police force? i search google but nothing shows up. are farang police everywhere or just Pattaya? thank you i want to serve the farang and thai community. Forget it, unless you want to be looked upon as a lackey mate. Well put. There is no such thing as 'farang police' and if there suddenly was the local populace would riot. IMO, absolutely correct. The closest thing is the rentacop/translation assistance in Pattaya. yes i dont expect or want to be arresting thais i just want to work with thai police to help farang when they have trouble. writing tickets to farang traffic violators would be fine because that will keep the roads safer for everyone and save lives. Some suggestions if you stupidly wish to join this police "farce": 1] Be able to speak bloody good English as previously suggested ("bloody" in this case means "very"). 2] Go to a "cop shop" (police station) & ask about the requirements involved in becoming a mutineer...oops, I mean "farang police officer". 3] Ask yourself, "What do cops (police) do in other countries? Are some cops exempt from becoming involved in violence? Are they simply "desk jockeys"? If I issue tickets to "farangs", is there a guarantee that a possible altercation may NOT result? What do I do if an altercation does result? Will I be required to perform acts of violence?" 4] If you want to help "farangs" & Thai people, there a million other ways in which to do so. Wearing a uniform may sound "fun" or "powerful" but at the end of the day, a balance of responsibility will occur. I wore two uniforms over a period of about five years...Australian Air Force & Australian Navy. The "I am in a uniform...look at me" appeal wore off within about three months as the responsibilities of such soon became apparent. IMO (in my opinion) do not assist an already heavily corrupt institution (Thai police). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJAN Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There is not such a thing as a farang police officer,the only thing you can apply for is with the Tourist police to help with the language when a TOURIST has a problem and need help,there are still many tourist who don't speak english so they are lost when something happens thats way they want farangs to help,also the touristpolice is not there for farangs who live here with there big mouth but when they are in trouble they don't know how fast they have to run to the tourist police and screaming for help,when mama is running after them with a big knife.And after they are happy like a small kid when the tourist police saved there sorry arse.

Ummm... Bullshite Totster How can you find that hard to believe? In Thailand!?, Or do you imagine that these VP's are not involved in any hanky panki arrangements. These volunteer police dudes are surrounded by visible corruption daily in massive scale, and working with corrupt cops does not make them, corrupted? Or maybe these guys are so full of moral and ethic code that they shine like a true knight in shiny armor! Well if so is the facto, then I must praise them, the mighty volunteer police force, the true knights of King Arthur’s sword.
