Police upgrade special skills

PHUKET TOWN: About 60 police graduated today from a three-week course designed to improve their ability to deal with VIP visits, security breaches and a variety of other situations. Governor CEO Pongpayome Vasaputi told the officers that increased crime and marine accidents were byproducts of the growth in tourism and related industries. “Phuket has to prevent crimes and disasters of all kinds by using the skills of officers such as these,” he said. The course was organized by visiting trainer Pol Lt Col Saksith Inthachat and his team.
