Bangkok police chief vows his men will not upset Crown Prince
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has expressed concern about the potential looming clash between police and antigovernment protesters and suggested that the conflicts be put to rest through talks, Metropolitan Police Chief Pol Lt Gen Camronwit Toopgrajank said Wednesday.

The Crown Prince on Tuesday summoned National Police Chief Pol General Adul Saengsingkaew, Camronwit and his deputy Pol Maj General Chanthawit Rammasut to an audience with him to inform him of the current political situation, Camronwit said, adding that the Prince has recommended guidelines for police on duty at the scene.

"I insist that all police officers will not upset HRH the Crown Prince. If there is violence, it definitely will not be caused by police. Everything will end in negotiation,'' Camronwit said.
