    New police vehicles found with defects

    Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda, the police chief, has ordered concerned authorities to check 7,000 newly-acquired patrol cars for use in the police service after several defects and mistakes have been found on them.


    The 7,000 new patrol cars are one of the seven projects approved for the Royal Thai Police by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)-installed government.


    The vehicles, acquired through hire-purchase under a five-year contract with Toyota and Isuzu dealers, are set to be distributed to police units throughout the country between Sept 23-Sept 28.


    After the distribution, some defects and mistakes are found on them. They include broken sirens, poor wiring systems and defective parts. Name signs of some police stations are not correct.


    Pol Gen Chakthip said he has ordered checks of all vehicles. The defects are found only on some vehicles because the companies handed over them to the RTP in a rush.




    All defects and mistakes must be corrected, otherwise a committee will be set up to investigate to find those responsible, he said.


    During the past two years, the RTP has been provided with equipment and vehicles under seven projects. They include patrol cars and motorcycles, communication radios, air rescue aircraft and helicopters.

    Who signed for the vehicles when they arrived? Who was assigned to check the vehicles on arrival?

    Just like home, there was usually nothing wrong with the new cars, it was the crap wiring after they left the factory that caused frequent problems.

    How often do we hear of these stories in Thailand? It's not news anymore.

    Knowing the politzi around here the flashing signs would be off the top and the mini bus would be being used for private uses. Ie school runs or private hire.
