Restructuring of police force
The Police Cadet Academy will study police structures in foreign countries following a move by the government to reform the Royal Thai Police Office (RTPO), the academy's director said yesterday.
Pongsaphat Pongchareon said national police chief Kowit Wattana has ordered the academy to prepare information about police structures in other countries and study the possibility of applying international models in Thailand.
The RTPO is planning to hold a seminar to gauge opinion on the planned restructuring from officers at policy-making and operational levels before submitting the findings to a government panel on police reform, headed by National Legislative Assembly member Sangsit Pirirangsan.
Earlier, Mr Sangsit, who conducted a study on police reform, suggested provincial police come under the authority of the provincial governors while Bangkok police would be under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
His proposal drew heavy criticism, however, from Pol Lt-Gen Achirawit Suphanphesat, spokesman of the national police office, who warned of disaster if the force was put under local bodies.
Pol Lt-Gen Pongsaphat, however, said changes were normal in all organisations. When any organisation is facing problems, restructuring is a natural move to achieve efficiency in a short period, he said.
However, he cautioned that structural changes may not necessarily guarantee a boost in work efficiency.
Rights groups are holding a seminar on the restructuring of the police force tomorrow. The seminar, organised by Amnesty International Thailand and other rights activists, has invited representatives from the police force, the Justice Ministry, the Lawyers Council of Thailand and other relevant agencies to give their views on police reform.
