Thai Police Recognize Officers and Influencers for Public Service
The Royal Thai Police have awarded five officers with the 'Thumbs Up Spokesperson' honor for their exemplary service and positive online engagement during August 2026.
On September 2, 2026, the Royal Thai Police held a ceremony at the Public Relations Division to present the 'Thumbs Up Spokesperson' awards for the month of August. Lieutenant General Trairong Phiwphan, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Police, presided over the event to honor five police officers recognized for their outstanding performance and effective communication.
The awards were divided into two categories: officers noted for their excellent public service and those recognized as 'police influencers' who have gained significant positive attention on social media platforms. Among the recipients were Sergeant Jak and Lieutenant Prasan, who were specifically highlighted for their dedication to duty.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this initiative reflects an ongoing effort by the police force to modernize their public image and improve community relations through digital channels. By highlighting officers who engage positively with the public online, the force aims to foster greater transparency and trust.
While the names of the two officers recognized for public service and the three influencer officers have been partially identified in reports, the full list of all five recipients and the specific criteria used to measure their 'influencer' impact remain subject to further official documentation. This recognition program is expected to continue as part of the department's strategy to encourage professional conduct and community-oriented policing.
