Activist 'Gun Jompalang' has donated a comprehensive CCTV surveillance system to the Huai Yai Police Station in Chonburi to bolster local crime prevention efforts.
On August 6, 2026, Kanthat Pongpaiboonvej, widely known as the activist 'Gun Jompalang,' visited the Huai Yai Police Station in Chonburi province to deliver a significant donation of security equipment. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the contribution includes 40 CCTV cameras, 20 close-range zoom lenses, two servers, and two hard drives for data storage.
Police Colonel Warawut Nitayawan, the Superintendent of Huai Yai Police Station, formally accepted the equipment. The donation is intended to enhance the police force's capacity for crime prevention and surveillance, particularly in areas identified as high-risk. This initiative follows a recent high-profile incident in the Huai Yai area that drew significant public attention and concern regarding local safety.
For residents and visitors, this upgrade represents a proactive effort to improve public security and monitoring capabilities within the district. While the equipment is expected to assist law enforcement in their operational duties, the specific deployment strategy for these cameras and the timeline for full system integration remain to be confirmed by local authorities. The donation highlights a collaborative effort between community figures and law enforcement to address safety concerns in the wake of recent events.
