BestBitterPhuket Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The reform process has to be lead from OUTSIDE the police. The Thai police cannot under any circumstances be trusted to carry out the reforms themselves. It will never work and the people will lose confidence in the new government. The police needs to undergo a total change, including the personnel. The Thai police is a failure and should be reformed from top to bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickirs Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 "Police Commander Gen Somyot Poompanmoung was in Phuket recently to underline his strategy for reform, and priorities for local law enforcement." Why? Isn't the NRC working on a reform that would DECENTRALIZE police at the local level? That would mean city authorities would have the power and responsibility for local law enforcement, not the national police. This disjunctive behavior with and within the Junta government seems endemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
