Police's Right

High risk illness career that devote themselves to citizens

Thai people tend to stick on the road because of traffic jam everyday not just in the morning before going to work but it happens all day. As a result, policemen are playing the important role to solve this problem to make it better. He has to work with heat, burning sun, noise and air polution for all day long. While we just sitting on the air-conditioning car and blame that Thai weather is so hot or stress over the amount of traffic in Bangkok, we might forget to think about others who work hard for our country.

The duties of policeman are oversee, watch over resident and arrest wrongdoer. Thai traffic police has to allocate road and gesticulate cars to lighten up the cars. Policeman has a big responsibility for protecting citizen to live peacefully.

Due to their duty, they have to stay outside the koban for many hours. Thai police have to wear tight uniform. The uniform including, brown stiff military cap or helmet, brown shirt, brown trousers, black belt, black leather boots and mask. This outfit closes almost every part of body from head to toe.

Police uniform has no standard in color, some are dark brown and some are light brown. The fabric is not suitable for working condition, such as it is harder to arrest wrongdoer because the fabric of uniform is thick, heavy, inelastic and too tight. It is awkward to move and easy to be torn. The uniform should ventilate the air because Thailand is a tropical country. Policemen have to expose to the sun for many hours which can lead them to dehydration and faint. Moreover, the boots is not proper for Thai weather. Although it seems like little things, it can lead disease to them, such as Tinea, Athlete's foot. These are not a small problem for people’s health.

Despite police has good welfare for nursing and the cooperate from the division, it is not fair for them to take the risk with their health. It is a people’s life. They are human being. They should have rights to be healthy. They should have equipment that meets the standard and good quality for their career. The division should take more serious about these problems.

Nowadays, we might experience with bad policemen who squeeze out and corrupt residents’ money. On the other hand, our country still have good policeman. We should consider to the goodness that he sacrificed to us. They have to work very hard and devote themselves for our society.
