The Australian Federal Police's Sydney Office recently hosted a Royal Thai Police (RTP) delegation and discussed policing in Australia and ongoing cooperation. A total of 58 Thai police officers spent one week with the AFP in Sydney.
The group’s visit, which formed part of a Senior Command Course, had a particular focus on understanding the history and working relationship between the State, Territory and Federal Police within Australia.
Participants received presentations on the history of policing in Australia, the role of the Sydney Office Major Incident Room and the function of Forensic Services relating to the smuggling of narcotics into Australia.
Xenia Cotter, acting manager of the Sydney Office thanked the Thai delegation for their ongoing cooperation, which she said was exemplified in the success of “Operation Serrata” which saw joint cooperation between Thai police and the AFP result in a significant seizure of narcotics.
