How extensive is the entry procedure into the national police or military units? Some of these have become much more disciplined over the years, the GRK and BHQ for example. The Flying Tigers and Justice/ Intervention police seem on the ball too. Is this guy Sangkat police? I've heard of some really dodgy ex cons getting police badges, and I know of GRK guys who are serving long stretches for involvement in illicit business. It's hard to know what to believe. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.
