Police Assistants
Nitiwat Pattanasarn, an attorney with Ken International Law Office, was
the guest speaker at the October training session of the Foreign Tourist
Police Assistants (FTPA) who work under the authority of regular tourist
police officers, principally in Pattaya’s Walking Street area.
He covered in his address several practical problems which the FTPA
frequently meet in their dealings with the public, including the legal
aspects of members of the public carrying dangerous weapons, the taking
of photographs inside and outside the bars and clubs and the recurring
issues of ladyboys, vendors and street prostitution.
Wayne Walton, acting group leader of FTPA, said “We now have a wealth of
international security experience with many of our 44 assistants having
had police or army backgrounds. There is a heavy emphasis now on
training and updating of skills. New members undergo a detailed
induction programme.”
FTPA work voluntarily on a weekly rota and are based at a mobile tourist
police station at the entrance to Walking Street. There is a mix of
nationalities from Europe, Asia and the Americas to reflect the changing
nature of Pattaya’s foreign visitors.
