Community Police Officers Undergo Firearms Refresher Training to Boost Operational Efficiency
Pictures courtesy of Sattahip News. Police Colonel Patikorn Sornchai, Deputy Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, presided over a firearms training exercise aimed at enhancing the skills and readiness of police officers from Sattahip Police Station. The session took place at the Naval Special Warfare Command’s shooting range in Samae San, Sattahip District. The refresher course focused on the handling and use of handguns and shotguns, with the objective of improving accuracy, confidence, and overall preparedness during high-risk operations. Leading the reception and coordination was Police Colonel Komsan Kumtunkaew, Superintendent of Sattahip Police Station, who welcomed the Deputy Commander and oversaw participation from 32 officers. In his address, Pol. Col. Patikorn stressed the increasing dangers faced by police officers in the line of duty, particularly during anti-narcotics operations, where suspects often resist arrest. He emphasised that regular training is essential to reducing the risk of injury or death among law enforcement personnel. “Training is a vital tool to help officers become more confident and competent in using firearms. With regular drills and skill development, officers are better equipped to protect themselves and the public while carrying out their duties effectively,” he stated. The training session included a live demonstration by both the Deputy Commander and the Sattahip Police Chief, who showcased precise shotgun techniques to the attending officers. This initiative forms part of the broader strategy to ensure that police officers remain physically and mentally prepared for the challenges of modern policing, especially in high-threat scenarios involving drug-related crime.

Crime Social Media Tattoo Artist “Namwan Laiphrang” Arrested in Drug and Firearms Raid
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Well-known social media tattoo artist Sarawut “Namwan Laiphrang” was arrested at his home in Bang Bua Thong district on 14 May, following a police raid that uncovered illegal drugs and an unlicensed firearm. Police from Bang Bua Thong Police Station, led by Pol. Col. Phrut Jamrungratsan and supported by a special operations unit, executed a search warrant at the 45-year-old suspect’s residence in Moo 7, Bang Bua Thong Subdistrict, after receiving a tip-off about possible drug activity at the premises. During the search, officers discovered a loaded .32 calibre revolver, five rounds of ammunition, and two orange methamphetamine tablets. Mr Sarawut, known online as “Namwan Laiphrang,” was immediately taken into custody and escorted to Bang Bua Thong Police Station for further questioning. Upon interrogation, Sarawut admitted that the gun belonged to him and had been purchased from a friend for 10,000 baht, claiming he kept it for self-defence. He also confessed that the methamphetamine was for personal use, stating that he regularly consumed several tablets a day. Sarawut, who operates a tattoo parlour out of his home, also revealed a history of drug offences, stating that he had previously been arrested five times in Nonthaburi province. He once belonged to the same gang as another notorious tattooed figure, “Keng Laiphrang.” Since his release from prison, he has cultivated a significant online following, amassing more than 200,000 followers on Facebook. Pol. Col. Phrut confirmed that Sarawut faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition without a permit, along with violations of the Narcotics Act. Authorities have also seized three motorbikes found on the property to verify whether they were legally owned. Investigations are ongoing to trace the origins of the firearm and drugs, as well as any further illegal activities connected to the suspect. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-15. -
