Popular Post NongKhaiKid Posted January 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here's a simple idea, stop letting errant officers off so easily and maybe get a little credibility back. Any need to mention rampant corruption or is that a bridge too far ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noitom Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thai police surveying the public about police reform. Can you imagine this ludicrous process? There was a detailed report by the US FBI after a joint program years ago working with the Thai police to recommend reform. The findings of that report were that the Thai police are so culturally corrupt that no measures would be effective in reforming Thai police process. A summary of the findings of this report is locatable on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I am trying to look at this as a positive not negative , I can't believe an organization such as a police force doesn't know how to see and rectify it's short comings, possibly the easy way out is to hire experts say from Singapore and H.K. in keeping within the Asian block, mind they will find everything exasperating so that might not work all that well , not to place a fine line on the duty of the RTP but the force can only be described as very ordinary, there I go all negative again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigBadGeordie Posted January 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2015 So this is the plan. The POLICE will ask what people think of them. The POLICE will then collate the responses. The POLICE will then give this info to the POLICE reform committee, which is chaired by the NATIONAL POLICE CHIEF. Seems fully transparent and above board to me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy chef 1 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 how about pay decent wages? how about civil servant status(including medical health care and pension)? how about an open transparent qualification test? how about provide uniforms,fire arms and vehicles? how about closely monitoring them and if they play not by the rules draconian penalty's enforced? and so on... every coin has two sides... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commerce Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What an utterly pathetic and disgraceful idea. The police in any country are there to enforce law - that is their job. Why would any police regime in any country ask the public how to reform? Laws are written to be enforced for the good of all, after hundreds of years of law development which offers equality and fair treatment of all. The government should be reforming the police force, not the police force asking the public. This is ludicrous, beyond any measure. Then again, most measures in T are ludicrous to begin with! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) it is sad isn't it? if they reform the police, no more pattaya, soi cowboy, nana. bars will have to close and serve alcohol during the proper hours. police ownership of bars dealing in prostitution will stop. no more launching burning balloons on various holidays. or fireworks. how about drinking on the beach? it will not be long before the police have real radios and computers, and are running your drivers license and license plate for arrest warrants. perhaps cross checked immigration and INTERPOL on the spot. and enforcing traffic laws. everyone will need a valid drivers license. and be able to drive properly. and that means all those expensive license plates from Bangkok that the police dare not stop will not be worth anything. they will need to build huge traffic courts all over Thailand to handle the huge number of moving violations as people come to court for the first time instead of paying the Mafia police.

Xangsamhua Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Decent wages and conditions would be a good start. If a police officer is making a wage on which he can keep his family then bribes would be unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLSEEINGEYE Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 As long as police are paying for their positions corruption will never end. This creates a system of profit and turns the police force into a business not an entity that is designed to in any way protect the people or do the right thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Instead of asking the public to give suggestions for reform, why not ask the members of the RTP themselves to give suggestions. But reponses must not be given to a police panel but a panel which would include Chiwit (sp) and some of the more honest members of Thai society. recruit about 15 members. Then take the citizens suggestens, present to a limited number of policemen on a panel. 5 should be enough. then let the combined panels vote/adopt those suggestions deemed needed/required.
