Activities

The Royal Thai Police have been sporadically trained to be more aware of new government policies of humane treatment of victims of trafficking. In May 2003, a series of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) between the government agencies and between the Government and domestic NGOs provided for some detailed police procedures to assist with the problem of trafficked persons being detained by the authorities.

In November 2003, the US State Department lent to the Royal Thai Police technical and material assistance to the recently formed anti-trafficking unit of the Thai police. Material includes a vehicle, computers, office items, communication and video equipment.
