National Police spending up nearly 16 percent
23 February 2018
Budget spending on National Police officers rose last year due to increased training of forces, including anti-demonstration police, official data has shown.

According to the annual report of the Interior Ministry’s general department of logistics and finance issued on Wednesday, budget spending for public security police officers increased nearly 16 percent in 2017 compared with 2016.

In 2016, about $275.6 million was spent, which rose to about $319.3 million in 2017.

The government provided a total budget of more than $10.51 million last year, which supported 3,190 National Police officials. About 22 percent of the budget, or $2.32 million, was spent on anti-demonstration efforts.

Speaking after the meeting, National Police spokesman General Kirth Chantharith said police officers from across all departments were training more because they wanted to increase their skills.
“It is not difficult to understand. When they train more, more money is needed,” he said.

Thats not a lot of money for the police force considering that nearly every second tuk-tuk driver is a undercover policeman. but I wonder just how much training they get before they join the police force.

Wonder how much the government spends on 3G or 4G. Most of the police men I see on the corner of the streets are so busy on their phones, they hardly can catch any traffic offenders.

Agree, but the 3 coward deputies who refused to enter the Florida school shooting zone and the school security guy probably had a lot of expensive training.
