The Royal Thai Police will run the first check-up on its LINE network this Thursday in an attempt to increase the efficiency and promptness of crime reporting. Police expect the network to be fully utilized by next year.
Deputy Police Chief Pol Gen Pansiri Prapawat said in a press conference yesterday that police officers everywhere in the kingdom were building up a connection through their smartphones with the instant calling and messaging app LINE. The crime-reporting network will serve as an online communication platform for officers to share text, photos and video clips with their fellows.
The group-based network consists of two main chat groups—one of officers with the ranks of Commander up to Deputy Commissioner-General and the other of Commanders down to Police Station Chiefs across the country.
Pansiri told FM91 that the pilot programs had proved successful in areas under Provincial Police Regions 3 and 4 and that its application should be adopted at a national level.
