"You'll Never Walk Alone" campaign launched

BANGKOK: -- Metropolitan police have now come up with a new safety campaign under a new slogan " You’ll Never Walk Alone” to ensure that the people will feel safer and securer to walk on the city streets.

The slogan is part of the metropolitan police scheme to return happiness to the people in the coming New Year.

“You’ll Never Walk Alone” will involve mobile patrols around the clock by police patrolmen under the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Patrol and Special Operation Division 191, or which is called “Patrolcop191″.

Commander of the Patrolcop191 Pol Maj Gen Panurat Lakboon said the scheme will be the first channel to access to police assistance in case of need and emergency.

Calls could be reached right to the duty police officers directly in addition to the busy 191 call by dialling 0613850191 / 0613851191 / 0613852191 and 0613853191 at 24 hours, he said.

He said the new channel to access to police assistance came after the current 191 call is flooded with over 8,000 calls a day, thus making access in case of emergency difficult.

The new mobile numbers will facilitate calling, he said.

He also said that apart from phone call, the “Patrolcop191″ can also be accessible via the social network as now the police has created official accounts on Facebook and LINE under the name “patrolcop191″ for people to give information on crimes, drugs, or need help and in case of emergency.

But he warned of police tough action in case of fake calls, as all incoming calls will be recorded, and surveillance cameras installed at various public telephone booths which will have enable police to track down fake callers.

Doesn't that remain to be seen?

[SoFarAndNear]

I found that "I will watching you" (Bangkoks 10.000 CCTV) campaign already scary...the "You"ll never walk alone" campagain makes it not better...

What about people who dont want to be watched or followed?

As a Chelsea fan this upsets me.!!

Every day this junta puts out an awful lot of sizzle, but no steak.

That's what thought. Do they not understand, we are all hiding from them.

Who will protect us from the police?

Read you own quote again..."Calls could be reached right to the duty police officers directly in addition to the busy 191". 191 has not been replaced.

So just to have another bash at the Thai police, who in this case are trying to do something positive (you know that attitude, positivity,?) to assist those who need help, you deliberately misinterpret the OP. Pure genius.

[greenchair]

Seems like every anouncment made these days, is followed by....

And you are being watched.

Closely.

Very closely

Really? Account already created?

Or ... too lazy? Maybe trying again next year .... 5555

Only when I'm on the motorbike in the week before payday.

Oh dear! What more is there to say?

[billd766]

Every day this junta puts out an awful lot of sizzle, but no steak.

Did the police under the previous do better or did they do nothing for the public apart from ripping them off at all?

[H1w4yR1da]

Seeing how the RTP handle things, wouldn't 'You'll Never Walk Again' be more suitable?

[JOC]

Another fancy slogan.............................And no action.................

Doesn't that remain to be seen?

Of course you are right.

But for someone, who has been around for a while, as I have: Seen it all, heard it all before.

And nothing, absolutely nothing has changed (for the better) within the last 15 years, despite big words and repeated campaigns.

Hence the scepticism.

[Bluespunk]

As a Chelsea fan this upsets me.!!

As a Liverpool fan this upsets me.

Mind you, everything about this season is upsetting me.

Getting out the Cech book this transfer window I hope.

“You’ll Never Walk Alone” will involve mobile patrols around the clock by police patrolmen under the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Patrol and Special Operation Division 191

Soooo, more police presence, more random stops and searches = more shakedowns/tea money for the BiB.

Personally, I would much rather 'walk alone' than have the BiB around.
