Police chief says police reforms meet public demands

  

BANGKOK, 30 August 2016 (NNT)-National Police Chief, Police General Chakthip Chaijinda has insisted that police reforms are line with public demands. 

Speaking during a weekly program ‘Thailand Moves Forward’, Pol Gen Chakthip revealed that he tasked Deputy Police Chief Pol Gen Pongsapat Pongcharoen with mobilizing the police reforms. He added that people will see results once the reforms are implemented. 

According to the Deputy Police Chief, the police reforms, which are public-oriented and focused on ensuring justice, will be carried out taking a top-down approach in three different stages. 

Urgent reforms will be completed in one year while those requiring more time are expected to be achieved in between five and twenty years. The implementation process will be overseen by ten groups of police officers who are knowledgeable about the reforms. 

To provide prompt police services, all 514 police stations in the country will have police inquiry officers working around the clock and a team of forensic experts on standby to collect evidence in cases where a crime is reported.

20 years... no need to rush rocking the boat [emoji57]

"Urgent reforms will be completed in one year while those requiring more time are expected to be achieved in between five and twenty years."

 

For sure, everyone I have ever spoken to about the police expects reforms to take at least 20 years.

 

Although some Police officers used the phrase "over my dead body."

5-20!years haha. Just as well say. "We decide what reforms and when "

The police reforms may meet public demands, but will the results meet public expectations?

20 years, 3 stages, 10 groups of reform leaders ...... BS thru and thru.

What exactly are the reforms?

 

Public demands reform in 4 - 20 years?

 

I think I don't quite believe...

 

Chook

So according to the statement it should be possible to produce a list of the public's demanded reforms, the actions to be taken to carry out those reforms and a road map showing a timeline for implementation?

 

Perhaps the senior officer who must've been appointed as project manager could make that chart available?

I should live so long

I think they need to reform the reform process.

And just how could he know what "public demands" might be? Criticism not allowed, public protests not allowed..... are public demands written on notes slipped under doors at police station while cops taking naps?

The reform process should start with the appointment of a Royal Commission on Police Reform chaired by the PM and consist of judiciary, NGOs, private enterprises representatives besides the police. They will be responsible to set up a Task Force to implement key reforms. An Implementation Committee will handle the key reforms implementation. It seem that the Police Chief is really not serious in the reform and only gave a half hearted attempt.

You forgot steering committees 

"Urgent reforms will be completed in one year while those requiring more time are expected to be achieved in between five and twenty years. "

 

Urgent reforms are new pay rises.

 

The other reforms such as stopping corruption etc will never happen.

The public wants what the public gets ,ain't that a line in The Jams ,going undergroud

excellent question. best not to tell us or we will be able to say it has been a failure 4 to 20 years down the road.

Long way to go but at least a we bit better than say when Thaksin appointed his brother in law as head of Police and CHALERM as 'Justice Minister'  (and uncle as head of the armed forces for the trifecta, or ''autoocratic coup' in effect)

Personally would section 44 the lot, then have the cops re-apply for their positions based on merit, retraining for those who don't pass muster, sacking for any who then do not make the grade, then give pay rises in increments based on review and merit going forward.

There's never been a display of "public demands" for police reforms.....not that I've heard of anyway.......it's a figment of the police leaders imaginations, and only  making noise about to encourage the people to believe in them. Nothing materiel will eventuate.

It goes right down to the guy that won the bid for a more senior position in the RTP...paid the fare ( ~1.6m) but didn't get the position...he sued...well tried to, but they kicked it out! ......indicating it's usual protocol to advance this way.......as with most public service enterprises.

Police reforms here in Thailand.....and of course, other SE Nations, that will eventuate in a more efficient force,  will not be permitted.

 

The worst operations  globally.  The most despicable group of public officers I have ever encountered. Asking Thais to pay them to do there jobs. Apart from that opportunity snipers chasing scooters for cash. I find you a disgrace and the current regime allows it. A terrible group that needs a election. Who cares about army senate. Waste of time untrained and not viable. You can read international news RTP or are you blind.

The trick is to sell the BS that reforms of any kind are being managed. Negotiate what the word 'reforms' actually means later. Things are endlessly flexible, endlessly negotiable.

 

Chook

Personally I like that your force is useless

20 years.....? Someone needs to be reformed.
