BANGKOK, 10 August 2015 – The Royal Thai Police Chief has indicated that no new police chief has been selected so far.
According to the Police Chief, Police General Somyos Poompanmuang, the meeting of the Office of National Police Policy Board will not consider the issue of the new police chief selection this Friday.
Personally, he has no one in his mind at this point, Police General Somyos said, adding that he is not aware of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s preference either.
However, he believes his selection of the next Police Chief would satisfy the Prime Minister. The Police Chief is expected to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss the qualifications of those who have potential to be the next police chief.
