Police Ordered to Monitor Released Prisoners Nationwide
Thailand's police have been ordered to monitor released prisoners nationwide through a centralized database system to prevent reoffending, with station commanders facing accountability for non-compliance.
The Royal Thai Police has ordered all police stations across Thailand to check and monitor the behavior of released prisoners to prevent repeat offenses. Deputy National Police Commissioner Trairuangkum Piamphairung announced that Police Chief Ittipol Chuachanhom has instructed all relevant units to enforce strict compliance with police regulations on prisoner monitoring and the National Police Office's crime prevention and suppression policies.
All police stations have been ordered to verify information about released prisoners entering their jurisdiction through the CRIMES system, which links data with the Department of Corrections. Police stations must use this information to record and report on released prisoners' behavior in the Police 4.0 application and maintain lists of suspended offenders, released prisoners, and local criminals for crime prevention analysis in their areas. Officers have been assigned to observe and report on the movements and conduct of these individuals according to established procedures, with station commanders regularly reviewing their activities.
The Criminal Records Registry and Information Technology Center have been instructed to update released prisoner information from the Department of Corrections in the CRIMES system immediately upon receipt. The Police Chief has emphasized the importance of this work and will conduct strict inspections of all police stations to ensure compliance. Any commander who neglects, fails to act, or unreasonably delays in carrying out these duties, resulting in damage or harm, will be held accountable for breach of duty.
