The Police Commission will tomorrow officially nominate and approve Pol General Priewpan Damapong as the new national police chief, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said yesterday.
“Having Priewpan permanently installed in his post officially will make Royal Thai Police’s functions more effective,” he said, adding that appointments and transfers at the deputy national police chief level, and commanders of bureaux would follow in the next Police Commission meeting on October 25.
The official appointment of Priewpan, now serving as acting national police chief, should not be a problem, unlike the infighting over previous people nominated for the post, he said, without elaborating.
