The Tourist Police Bureau has announced its three latest measures to crack down on ‘gray capital’ and transnational crimes, especially during the recently introduced visa-free* period.
The three measures are as follows:
- Use “intelligence-led policing” – Visit suspected areas to find new information and seek cooperation from the private sector and the public; then, analyze the information and compare with previous databases;
- Coordinate with international networks – through all embassies and Interpol in 195 member countries;
- Prosecute strictly – Cooperate with all agencies to investigate, arrest, and push offenders out of the country and put their names on a blacklist to prevent them from returning to Thailand again.
The Tourist Police Bureau can be reached via the Hotline 1155 or the mobile application “tourist police I lert you.”
*Thailand has announced a temporary tourist visa exemption scheme to passport holders of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Kazakhstan, effective from 25 September 2023 to 29 February 2024. (NNT)
