Royal Police Cadet Academy Dismisses Senior Officer Over Misconduct
The Royal Police Cadet Academy has terminated an assistant professor and police colonel following an investigation into serious disciplinary violations.
According to a report by Thai Post on September 2, 2026, the Royal Police Cadet Academy has officially dismissed an assistant professor holding the rank of Police Colonel. The officer, identified in local media as the husband of a figure known as 'Jae Ning,' was found guilty of two counts of severe disciplinary misconduct.
The investigation concluded that the officer engaged in unauthorized media appearances and was involved in the solicitation of a 3 million baht payment. These actions were deemed a violation of the strict conduct expected of faculty members at the prestigious institution.
For residents and expatriates, this development highlights ongoing internal oversight within Thailand’s law enforcement training institutions. While this incident is primarily an administrative matter concerning police personnel, it underscores the government's current focus on addressing corruption and professional ethics within the ranks of the Royal Thai Police.
As of now, the specific legal ramifications beyond the dismissal remain to be confirmed. The public awaits further details regarding potential criminal charges that may follow the internal disciplinary findings. There is no indication that this event will impact public safety or the daily lives of tourists visiting the country.
