Deputy National Police chief Pongsapat Pongcharoen said police would today set up a panel to find out how much income is earned from advertising boards erected on police boxes.
He said the meeting was to be held in response to the Treasury Department’s queries about income from the advertising. Pongsapat said the Royal Thai Police was not involved in the advertising on their boxes but each police station drew up contracts with advertising firms.
He said the Treasury wanted the police to establish a rule that any company wanting to put up billboards on police boxes must seek approval.
