The National Reform Council's judicial reform committee on Tuesday resolved to dissolve the Royal Thai Police and the Police Commission and to transfer police agencies to the control of relevant ministries and local governments.
Wanchai Sonsiri, the spokesman of the panel said the proposals have yet to be deliberated by the NRC.
He said his panel felt that there should be a new agency, the National Council for Police Affairs, to govern police. Members of the council would be the heads of government agencies concerned and specialists.
Wanchai said the panel felt that police with different responsibilities should be transferred to ministries concerned with such responsibilities.
