Deputy National Police chief Pol General Pongsapat Pongcharoen said Tuesday that construction of 181 new police stations would kick off on January 1.
The National Council for Peace and Order has approved the funds to build 215 new police stations in 59 provinces in a move to solve space shortage problems.
Pongsapat said the project would use funds allocated in the 2015-2016 fiscal year, adding that project would be done in a transparent manner to prevent corruption and construction delays as had happened in the past.
He said of the 181 stations, only Khao Cha-ngok police station in Chachoengsao had yet to name a contractor.
