Bangkok Police Launch 'Junior Detective' Initiative at Suwannaram Wittayakhom School

On August 3, 2026, the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) held a special educational event at Suwannaram Wittayakhom School in Bangkok. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the initiative, titled 'Junior Detective,' was organized to equip students with essential knowledge to defend themselves against modern dangers, specifically cyber threats and narcotics.

The program was led by Police Major General Teeradej Thammasutee, Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, acting on behalf of the Commissioner. He was joined by a team of officers, including representatives from the Investigation Division and local police stations, who engaged with the students to build a 'protective shield' of awareness. The event took place at the school's Suwannikarn Conference Room.

For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this event highlights the ongoing efforts by local authorities to integrate community policing with youth education. While the program focuses on school-aged children, it reflects a broader trend of increased police engagement in public awareness campaigns regarding digital safety and drug prevention. As of now, it remains to be confirmed whether this 'Junior Detective' program will be expanded to other schools across the Bangkok metropolitan area or if it will remain a localized pilot project. No further details regarding the long-term curriculum or future scheduled sessions have been released by the MPB at this time.
