Gen Boonsrang vows to get rid of trade in police positions

Every senior police position is bought, and he thinks he can change that.
No position is filled on merit, just how much money they pass on.

While I would love to see action taken to reform the boys in brown, I truly cannot think of any reason to be confident in this “new and improved” committee which will “allow the people’s sector to share their views on police reform”.
After three years in power, another committee struck, and another promise made that this time things will be different; another round of meetings for discussion, another, another, another...
Meet the new committee, same as the old committee.

They could start with spinning off other departments such as immigration, which is not a core part of the police department. If immigration was a stand-alone department there could be reform there too.

They should bring in 
outside consultants from 
outside Thailand and follow their recommendations.

I’m led to believe that this was done before [bringing in outside consultant], I’m not sure which branch of American law enforcement it was, but they said that it was a hopeless case and went home.

These people are always in meetings and nothing gets done. Having a meeting means truly nothing.

I see the largest obstacle as enforcing the reform - whatever that looks like. Best place to start is Koh Tao. If they can make that work, there’s a glimmer of hope elsewhere.

Wonder how much he paid for ... his ... position.

Every time a General makes a vow, I laugh it off.

There is actually a “Police Reform Panel”. They must spend the majority of their time on holiday!!

Thank goodness the military is free of such wrongdoings.
