Ett kontrollorgan tillsätts som skall kontrollera polisens agerande i Thailand. Den bemannas bl.a med representanter från organisationer för mänskliga rättigheter och jurister.
Finns kanske ett hopp ändå att dom skall börja agera som poliser skall och inte vara så korrumperade !
Reform of national police force closer

Bangkok: -- The much-awaited reform of the Royal Thai Police is closer to reality now that the junta-installed National Reform Council (NRC) has approved the establishment of a so-called National Police Affairs Council, which will oversee the entire force.
This independent body will be composed of members from outside agencies, including judicial and human-rights personnel, along with a supervisory panel consisting of members of Parliament and senators, as per a proposal put forward this week by NRC panel spokesman Wanchai Sornsiri.
It has also been proposed that the police force be decentralised, with precincts being run by provincial and local authorities, while units with nationwide authority be assigned to relevant state agencies, such as the Tourism Police being put under the Tourism and Sports Ministry.
The powerful Police Commission, which handles and approves reshuffles within the police force while also making policies and giving directions to the Royal Thai Police, will also be abolished.
The 11-member Police Commission, chaired by the prime minister, will become a new nine-member operative body under guidelines issued by the military's ruling National Council for Peace and Order.
