Senior officials inspect Sattahip Police Station to ensure accountability, fairness, and readiness in serving locals and tourists alike. PATTAYA, Thailand – Police commanders in Chonburi province are stepping up efforts to ensure transparency, efficiency, and public trust in daily law enforcement duties, especially in tourist-heavy areas such as Pattaya and Sattahip, as a connecting area. The move comes amid growing public scrutiny and a push for improved service standards for both Thai residents and foreign visitors. Pol. Col. Paitoon Pitaktham, Deputy Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, led an inspection team to Sattahip Police Station as part of the annual evaluation under the fiscal year 2025 performance plan. The visit was hosted by Pol. Col. Khomsan Khumtoonkaew, Superintendent of Sattahip Police Station, and attended by key staff. The inspection focused on offering guidance in investigative procedures and administrative operations, with particular emphasis on accuracy, transparency, and operational effectiveness. Officials also listened to real-world feedback and challenges from officers on the ground. The atmosphere was orderly and professional, with clear signs that Sattahip Police are working toward becoming a modern, accountable, and service-oriented agency. The review also highlighted readiness in handling emergencies with speed and tactical precision — qualities essential to maintaining public safety in both residential and tourist areas. Police aim to boost public confidence with improved response tactics and transparent law enforcement procedures. The Chonburi Provincial Police leadership noted that strengthening public confidence, especially among international tourists in destinations like Pattaya and Sattahip, requires not only strict enforcement but also fairness and clarity in police procedures. This inspection follows recent public concern in Pattaya over what some foreign residents and tourists perceive as uneven enforcement of traffic laws, where foreigners are disproportionately fined while some local offenders appear to go unpenalized. Authorities say that boosting internal transparency — including through on-site audits like this — is a key step in building a safer, more trustworthy environment for everyone in Chonburi, regardless of nationality. Provincial police leaders visit Sattahip to evaluate operations and promote professional standards in high-tourism zones.   Officials stress transparent investigations and efficient emergency response during annual inspection at Sattahip Police Station.
