Tourist Police Commander Pol Lt Gen Pongsayam Maikantong delivered the bureau's administrative policy in both Thai and English under the theme 'One Team One Strongest for Safety Tourism.' The policy is anchored in the royal working principles of King Rama IX — including the 27 royal initiatives emphasizing integrity, systematic problem-solving, the 'understand, access, develop' approach, and prioritizing the public good — and King Rama X's five royal decrees to 'continue, preserve, and build upon' national security, public happiness, service improvement, volunteerism, and sufficiency economy.
Key directions include strengthening international cooperation and transnational crime suppression, establishing rapid coordination channels with embassies, police attachés, and consular offices, and linking with international police organizations to combat call-center scams, influential networks, and emerging threats. The bureau will develop an 'International Crisis Coordination Team' with language, legal, and cultural readiness, while promoting ASEAN regional collaboration.
Service delivery will follow the 'Your First Friend' concept, ensuring tourist police act as accessible, trustworthy, and professional first responders. The bureau will also modernize technology, work systems, and welfare through the 'TPB Family Care' program, applying advanced technology to boost operational efficiency.
