Responsible in crime prevention and suppression, investigating and arresting concerning about the tourist and international crimes in case that may cause impact on tourism industry, help facilitating and providing safety of life and belongings for the tourists and working together with or giving support to other related agencies or those being assigned. These volunteers are here to serve as an intermediary between tourists and the Thai culture and police.
To be able to ask for help from a native speaker is a very valuable thing, so they translate between various languages and Thai in order to help tourists to get rid of stress. Sometimes, they teach Thai tourist police to speak English, they tell tourists where to find certain things, or what to do under various situations. Each volunteer can choose to work as a translator, teacher, sit behind the police desk and offer advice or pound the streets. Some volunteers work one to two hours per week, others spend days in uniform.
Actually, many of Chiang Mai tourist police are missionaries, others retirees, some professionals such as doctors, photographers and writers, with a sprinkling of business owners and entrepreneurs in the ranks. Each has his or her own reason for joining, but they appreciate to help others.
The Chiang Mai Tourist Police are looking for a further 60 volunteers over the coming months. The only requirements are that you have a work permit or residency status and no criminal records. All you need to do is call 1155 or 053 278559 to apply, put aside a few thousand baht for your uniform and accessories and be prepared to volunteer some of your time to help others.
