webfact 160611 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Australian police observe forensic operations in Thai South YALA, Oct 16 -- Thailand's assistant national police chief Pol Lt-Gen Charamporn Suramanee led two senior officials from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to observe forensic operations by the Thai police in this country’s southernmost provinces. Gen Charamporn led Paul Reedy, Forensic Operations Manager of the AFP Forensic and Data Centres and Australian Bomb Data Centre director Phil Winter to visit Thailand’s Bomb Data Centre and Forensic Centre at the Southern Border Province Police Bureau (SPB) in Yala. The visit was designed to exchange experience in bomb disposal and forensic science operations in Thailand's southern provinces which could help foster the effectiveness of security operations in provinces where insurgency-related violence continues. Australia has expertise in investigation and cross border crime which could help strengthen Thai police capabilities, and the SPB is still in need of some kinds of equipment to support its operations.

Thai at Heart 17308 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) and the SPB is still in need of some kinds of equipment to support its operations I wonder if the GT2000 was discussed. Maybe the Ozzies have a version with corks tied to string on the end of a boomarang they can flog for a few million.

Jim walker 1451 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Delicate and fine forensic operations Thai style is about forty police men walking all over the crime scene and parking all their cars and pickups on the crime scene always better to get a close as possible so you don’t have so far to walk, and the chief forensic officer is the one with the baton under his arm so he can poke the corpse and move it about without physically touching it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coma 2436 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Yes. It will be the Thais gaining from this visit. Not the other way around. I don't think the AFP will be learning a lot off these jokers. The AFP learn enough through debriefing given by ADF BD Units returning from the Ghan.

Give credit where credit is due. I Well stated Geriatrickid... And also we must not forget that the Bali Bombings are now 10 years old. I was on the island when it happened and when the AFP forensics folks arrived and taught the POLRI many things... Mind you, as an aside I always remember the GT2000 as a sports car made by Toyota and also a model of Nissan's Skyline coupe that I had in 1976...the GTR2000...my how things have changed...from car names to bomb detectors thyat don't work.

Give credit where credit is due. I I would also like to point out that it was the Australian Federal Police (AFP) that bought the Bali Bombers to justice through their Forensic skills.It was the AFP that found that the bomber in fact was a suicide bomber that wore a vest and detonated it in the first bar. This first explosion was a decoy to kill as many as possible in the bar and to make more people gather after the explosion at that location for more to be killed and maimed after the second larger explosion. They are very skilled and are a sort after force in their field. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
