Region 7 chief Pol Lt-Gen Thanayuth Wuthijarasthamrong issued an “all points bulletin” to the men under his command to smarten up their act.
In return he called for senior commanders to make sure their men have plenty of food and drink.
Thanayuth chaired a meeting of very upstanding – even though they were sitting – senior cops.
Every one had an identical short back and sides haircut as they used to be known.
Before the word skinhead became prevalent.
Everyone was well dressed and at seated attention. All were masked.
It was clear these were fine examples of what the force should look like.
Thanayuth issued an eight point plan and among the highlights were:
Demands that police in Region 7 help the public and speak politely while so doing.
Cops were told to smarten themselves up, get an appropriate haircut; station chiefs were ordered to make sure that standards were being met EACH AND EVERY DAY.
In other matters the cops were told to make sure that they contacted the relevant authorities to clear roads of floodwater, reported Siam Rath.
Edict #1 was to provide enough rainwear to the men.
Cops were also told to watch out for online crime and given thanks for their hard work from the big boss.
Those responsible for their welfare should make sure there is no skimping on the meals and drinks, was edict #8.
