Sukhothai Police Officer Gains Recognition for Two Decades of Community Service
Police Lieutenant Surad Sribua of Sawankhalok, Sukhothai, is being celebrated for his 20-year commitment to providing free haircuts to vulnerable residents during his off-duty hours.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Police Lieutenant (Pol. Lt.) Surad Sribua, a deputy inspector at the Sawankhalok Police Station in Sukhothai province, has earned widespread public admiration for his long-standing community service. For over two decades, Pol. Lt. Surad has dedicated his personal time to traveling by motorcycle to visit elderly, disabled, bedridden, and low-income residents, providing them with free haircuts in their own homes. His commitment to helping the community extends beyond grooming services; he is also known for assisting with various local needs, including wildlife removal and landscape maintenance. This initiative, which he began even before joining the police force, continues to be a source of inspiration for the local community. Residents or visitors interested in his services or those wishing to learn more about his community efforts can visit the Wang Mai Khon sub-district patrol station. While his dedication is widely praised, the long-term sustainability of such grassroots community support programs often depends on the individual initiative of officers like Pol. Lt. Surad. It remains to be seen how such localized efforts might influence broader community policing strategies in the region.
