Authorities in Udon Thani are investigating a police volunteer after reports surfaced of him wearing a police-like uniform and bringing a woman into a staff room adjacent to a police booth.
Police in Udon Thani have launched an investigation into a volunteer police officer (known as an 'Asa Tor') following public concerns regarding his conduct. The investigation, ordered by the Udon Thani City Police Station, focuses on allegations that the volunteer wore a uniform resembling that of a regular police officer and allowed a woman into a staff room located next to a police booth. The individual, identified as a man named Bas who also works as an emergency medical driver, has publicly addressed the claims. He stated that he wears a khaki uniform only while assisting with traffic duties near schools and maintains that he does not use the attire to impersonate officers for personal gain. Regarding the presence of the woman, he clarified that she is his partner and was waiting for him to finish his shift so they could travel home together. He denied any allegations of coercion or misconduct and noted that he had recently tested negative for sexually transmitted diseases. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights ongoing discussions regarding the regulation of volunteer personnel and the appropriate use of government facilities. It remains to be confirmed whether the volunteer violated specific internal regulations regarding uniform standards or the use of official premises, as the official police inquiry is still ongoing.
