Police to get HIV/Aids education

Up to 10,000 junior police officers will be educated each year on HIV/Aids stigma and discrimination.

 

The move is part of a training programme signed Monday by the National Police, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Foundation for Aids Rights and the Justice Ministry’s Department of Rights Protection.
“This training will help our officers become a resource and a helping hand for people living with HIV/Aids and key affected people,” Pol LtGeneral Chanin Preechaharn said.
A course for 40 trainers kicked off right after the signing. A pilot exercise to refine the curriculum is due in the near future.
