The Bangkok Metropolitan Police Bureau has announced that it plans to create an online service where citizens can file police reports conveniently from their homes.
Pol. Maj.Gen. Adul Narongsak, Deputy Director of Metropolitan Police said in a press conference yesterday that the public would be encouraged to submit notifications and other documents about incidents to the police, in order to avoid extra costs from traveling and processing paper documents.
Adul said the initiative has almost been completed and that a team would soon be discussing budget and training issues. The police are expected to adopt the online notification service by next budget year.
“88 police stations in Bangkok Metropolis area will run ′online stations′ of their own” Adul said, “The online gadget will allow public to access notification and complaint submissions, fine payment, document transaction, e-library, e-learning, games, e-investigation, and station contact.”
“Moreover, in terms of lawsuit submission, instead of the paperworks the police will just send all the relevant data via electronic forms to prosecutors right away, which should make the whole process progress faster and more economical,” he told Khaosod.
