Regulations will determine if Chitpas can join 191: police
THE Metropolitan Police Bureau will use regulations when deciding whether to appoint a former People's Democratic Reform Committee leader to a position within the Patrol and Special Operation Division, the police spokesman said.
Lt-General Prawut Thawornsiri said yesterday that Chitpas “Tan” Kridakorn’s application to join the division, also known as 191, was being considered by the bureau and had not been forwarded yet to national police headquarters for approval.
He said anyone qualified for the post would be accepted in accordance with the law.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan denied that Chitpas applied for the job because she had a close connection with him.
“I have no link [with her]. It is up to the police [to decide] what kind of personnel they want. Everyone has the right to apply for police posts,’’ he said.
Some police are reportedly upset about Chitpas’ move to secure the position. As a result, she reportedly wants to withdraw her application.
