Thai female police carrying weapons?

[KhunBENQ]

I am struggling to find an answer to these questions:

Do female Thai police carry weapons on duty?

Are their duties limited to traffic control or office duty?

I fancy one with handcuffs if you can find one.

A lot I've seen appear to be carrying a pair of 32 s.

I wouldn't argue with 34B's............ .................... ...................

I seen the article already, but does it answer my questions?

I googled through many websites/images (also on Thai sites), but no clear indication of female officers carrying weapons.

I don't think these are water pistols.

Wifey used to work at the local police station.

The lady officers there are mostly armed and like the men have to buy their own weapons.

As a matter of interest OP, why would they not?

If the girls are doing the same job as the boys, they should have the same toys....................

Or is there some deeper issue with them being women?..............

In my previous life, I knew several women (granted, not Thai) that through their job carried weapons, and there wasn't one of them I wouldn't want having my back.

Yes they do..

No they're not limited to traffic control or desk duties...

There's a couple of riot squads that are all female in Bangkok..
