NongKhaiKid Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 BIB operations must become more proactive. Does this mean they must actively find new ways of making money in addition to the old tried and tested methods ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The man that has done nothing about finding the murderers of the Yellow demonstrators is calling for his force to be more proactive in the South. Why should anybody trust him or his actions. Another lapdog of Thaksins brigade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chainarong Posted April 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2014 The police in Thailand have a shocking record, to replace the existing force you would need to employ the military , you would need to bring in specialists from other countries and at the end of the day after a decade it would be the same as it is now , you can only make change in Thailand at all levels of the community , by better education and higher achievement levels, otherwise your are flogging a dead horse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryanicAristocrat Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 What a joke! The RTP needs a reforn first to eradicate about 90% of the criminals in the force itself! Just really look at how many police are caught in crimes per year and mind you these are only those that are caught! The higher up they go, the worst they are.

I think your wrong. Corruption is taught to all thais as children. Paying teachers for extra classes to learn how to pass their tests. Paying schools to pass even though they failed. Families teaching no responsibility for actions. Jobs and promotions given not on knowledge but on favors. If thai dont start teaching kids to be responsible for their actions then this country will never change. Corruption is ingrained into the youths and reinforced throuhgout their lives.

spidermike007 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Another post written by George Carlin from the grave. This goombah who made the statement forgets the much needed Thai police reform has not taken place yet. The 50 billion dollars have not been spent yet, reforming the department from the ground up. Supplying them with proper equipment, giving them proper training, equipping them with real world forensic labs, allowing them technology beyond fingerprinting. Raising the salaries. Etc. Etc. It boggles the mind to consider how many decades the Thai police, are behind their counterparts throughout the world. He is living in a parallel universe, drinking way too much spiked kool aid. Get real. Does anyone in this country expect real police work, ever? Have you ever witnesses real police work here? Protection of individuals, or their property? Recovery of stolen assets? Conviction of real criminals? Come on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Given the recent statements coming from some of the higher up BiB, they sense that a change is coming. Good. If you put a block of cheese in a closed maize, the rats will climb over each other to get what they preceive as their share, but it is a fairly equal buffet line, when the cheese is gone and no other source of food is readily avaliable the rats can become quite agressive, even canniblistic in their quest to satisfy their cravings. The caretaker government has placed themselves in a predictiment where the watchdogs are growling/questioning legallities and the scrapes are not so forthcoming for the rats and their handlers. The handlers may have the advantage of position but the numbers of rats can be overwhelming, if left to reproduce. Whether the change is to deprive them of cheese and try to introduce them to stale bread, turn them loose on society or whether the young will turn on the old guard/handlers, is still to be answered.

Lupatria Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Maybe one of the needed changes is to get rid of a guy on top of the force who constantly makes himself conspicuous only via stupid statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The police main focus is the same as politicians, lining there pockets. In that they are proactive and tremendously successful. The other stuff they do is just to justify keeping there jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickirs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 TV commentors have a number of good ideas about improvements in the Thai Police. But in the larger picture Thai police must operate in a true democratic society with sufficient checks and balances within the whole of the three branches of government to assure complete transparency, accountactibility, ethical code of conduct, professionalism, and judicial responsibility. In conjunction with government checks and balances. Thailand further needs a true democratic framework prescribed by a living constitution that assures equality and rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Thais irrespective of their education, wealth, political beliefs, etc. This constitution should have the approval of the Thailand people, not a private committee, not a single political party (there are 70 registered parties), not a single nonpolitical organization, not a single person other than of course the approval by HRM the King.

Badbanker Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think the title of this thread should be "Police must be paid real salaries 'so they be more proactive'" It is real difficult to be an honest Thai policeman when you have to live and feed your family on 8,000 baht! The corruption is just survival in a lot of cases and yes it is wrong but the root cause should be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"if you pay peanuts - you only get monkeys" Pay reasonable salaries - and take action on corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
