The use of technology is part of a six-point reform proposal officers believe will improve the force's image. A panel, working on the reform proposals, has reduced items on the reform list from 10 to six and is about to wrap up its work, deputy national police chief Pol Gen Rungrot Saengkhram said yesterday. The cameras are expected to help boost efficiency and transparency because footage can be used as evidence, Pol Gen Rungrot said. National police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has also assigned officers to draft what he calls an "immediate reform" plan that includes changes at police stations, some of which are now being carried out, Pol Gen Rungrot added. On Tuesday Pol Gen Chakthip met senior commanders to discuss police station reform and insisted it must be strictly followed nationwide.
