Prime Minister Anutin to Chair Police Commission Meeting on August 28
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is scheduled to lead a Police Commission meeting to finalize 163 senior police appointments.
According to a report by Matichon Online, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is set to chair a meeting of the Police Commission (G.Tr.) on August 28, 2026. The primary agenda for this session is the deliberation and finalization of 163 senior police officer appointments, often referred to as the 'khaki-clad general' reshuffle.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this meeting is significant as it determines the leadership structure of the Royal Thai Police. Changes in high-ranking police positions can influence local law enforcement priorities, administrative policies, and the overall approach to public order across the country. While these appointments are a standard administrative procedure, the outcome of the meeting will clarify who will hold key oversight roles within the national police force.
At this stage, the specific names of the officers slated for promotion or transfer remain to be confirmed. The public and observers are awaiting the official announcement following the conclusion of the commission's deliberations. As the meeting is scheduled for August 28, further details regarding the impact of these personnel changes on specific regions or departments will likely emerge only after the commission concludes its session.
