Military, Police Deny False Claims of Officer Custody

The Internal Security Command Region 4 Headquarters urged the public on July 30 to disregard false claims circulating on social media alleging that police officers were being detained for investigation. The command clarified that such information is untrue and no such actions are occurring. Spreading or sharing false information without factual basis can mislead the public, sow confusion, and undermine confidence in officials' work, and may constitute illegal activity. Those who spread or relay false information may face legal consequences if their actions cause harm to individuals, organizations, or public order and peace.

Following recent incidents, military and police units have held joint meetings, coordinated information sharing, and integrated their operations closely according to standard procedures to gather facts, support investigations, and expedite case resolution through proper legal channels. This collaborative approach has been standard practice during major incidents. Officials from both agencies expressed regret over losses and remain committed to working together professionally based on mutual trust, respect, and continuous cooperation, with the shared goal of protecting public safety and security in the southern border provinces.

The command asked the public to exercise critical judgment and verify information through official state agencies or credible news sources before believing or sharing it, to prevent misunderstanding and reduce impact on officials' work. Military and police personnel reaffirmed their commitment to work together with unity, transparency, and adherence to the rule of law and public interest, pushing forward with full force to build confidence, safety, and lasting peace in the southern border region.
