[harryfrompattaya]

What are the official hours and days a month a Policeman is to work

Somebody told me they supposed to work everyday 12 hours a day

[gerry123]

[salavan]

[MrTee]

[AhFarangJa]

[NE1]

12 till 1 with an hour for lunch.

[ravip]

WOW!

Seems all of you are RTP or Ex RTP.

So precise and accurate information.

[Fiddlesticks]

It's obviously a trick question since the truth is that they DON"T WORK. They simply stand, sit or ride around and let law breakers do whatever they want to do.

[Gulfsailor]

Depends on department and shift. But at least one day of per week. Those stationed at the office have normal 8-5 days with Saturday and Sunday of.

[Beetlejuice]

A regular Thai police officer works 8 hours per day, excluding a 45-minute or maybe 1 hour per day meal break, 5 days per week a 40-hour week. There is no set times, as it is shift work, their times of duty changes each month on a rota system with other police officers. At times of emergencies the police are expected to work when required, in fact they are on 24-hour call. If for example a police officer is on duty and a crime situation arises or is working on a case, the officer cannot pack up and leave if the shift has ended, the officer must remain and see it through. They are also expected to work extra hours to fill in if there is a shortage of officers, sickness, holidays and so on. Therefore is it rare that an officer will ever do only a 40-hour working week, there is usually many more hours involved.

No you mixed that up. It's 12 hours per year.

[daveAustin]

in fact they are on 24-hour call

So that's why they can never really be assed to do any real policing, like get out there and catch real crooks when a misdemeanor has been reported, since, in all likelihood, it might take them into unpaid overtime.

I think now I have answered the OP`s question that there no longer any point in keeping this thread open. The rest of the replies are like bad jokes that keep getting repeated time and time again.

For those who have nothing constructive to add to these threads, why bother participating at all?

When are they all being sacked?

Not all Thai police are lazy you know, Ive been good friends with a police man for years, we often go out for beers etc (wifes uncle) he is a good guy and works pretty hard, he also goes round schools to warn kids about drugs and other useful life lessons, in fact he couldn't make it to see us on NYE because he was working, he also does not accept bribes etc, a genuinely nice guy and I can 100% say that.

Sure alot of police are a bit dodgy I am sure, accepting tea money and what not but you should not judge the lot with the same brush.

[Thaiberius]

I know one copper, the only one in the ban, who spends his days drinking and riding around on his bike. He appears to be answerable to nobody. I don't know his working hours but unless the ban needs a plain-clothes drunken policeman he is never on duty.

[kannot]

Policeman comes to my land 2-3 times a week, he often has to do 12 hour days BUT its VERY relaxed, many times he will stay here for more than an hour having a drink , looking at the veggies or fish etc.

Compared to a UK policeman who has NO time at all, every second of their days are full, I told him in England Police really dont have time to do anythng except move on to the next incident.

So Tha Police = long hours but little work by me past Hua Hin

He also has to clean the police station every Wednesday, he's not a lowly cop he's a lieutenant.

His salary 20k a month 18 years in the rtp used to be border patrol for 8 of those years, hes a decent guy.

I think folk are entitled to their SAY however crap YOU think it might be, thats the mods job

[bunnydrops]

I don't know the hours. But here everyone knows they go home at 5. Helmets off time.

[Puyai]

The ones I know spend more time at the golf course than in the office.

[lannarebirth]

9 till 5

Unless it's raining. Always wondered how smugglers never figured out to go through checkpoints while it's raining. Always unmanned.

[jacko45k]

Between 4 and 6pm stopping traffic every second Wednesday.
