On August 13, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul presided over the opening ceremony of the security policy implementation workshop for the first batch of regional officials at the Challenger Building, Impact Muang Thong Thani. The event brought together key figures including the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Interior, provincial governors, district chiefs, and regional police commanders from Provincial Police Regions 1, 2, and 7.
The meeting followed a two-month collaborative workshop between provincial governors and provincial police commanders, establishing 9 critical areas requiring joint operational efforts:
- Land encroachment
- Cybercrime
- Nominee structures and money laundering
- Local thugs and influential figures
- Informal debt resolution
- Tourist safety
- Database integration
- Anti-narcotics operations

Bridging the gap between administrative officials and local police through a unified One Data system represents a major shift in tackling regional security challenges. Historically, siloed operations often hindered intelligence sharing and rapid response capabilities, making this 90-day implementation window a crucial test for measurable public safety improvements.
Addressing the pressing issue of firearms, the Prime Minister revealed that Thailand currently harbors over 10 million guns. This equates to roughly one firearm for every 6 to 7 citizens, or 3 to 4 citizens if children and the elderly are excluded, creating a volatile environment reminiscent of the Wild West. Consequently, the Department of Provincial Administration has suspended the issuance of Por 3 firearms acquisition licenses, while Por 12 permits have remained unavailable for the past three years.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister issued a strong warning to law enforcement personnel regarding potential political interference or individuals falsely invoking his nickname to influence official duties.
ขอให้ทุกท่านใช้หลักผมเคยมอบหมายคือมีความเป็นอิสระอย่างสูงสุดในการปฏิบัติหน้าตามนโยบาย ปิดชื่อถือพฤติกรรม ไม่ต้องสนใจ โทรศัพท์ใครโทรเข้ามา ถ้าผู้บัญชาการตำรวจแห่งชาติ หรือผู้บังคับบัญชาของท่านไม่ได้โทรมา ก็ไม่ต้องปฏิบัติ เพราะไม่ใช่คำสั่งถูกต้องตามกฎหมาย
