Police clear over 9 million criminal record files

According to Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief, more than 9.3 million persons have had their identities deleted from police criminal record files after being declared not guilty and acquitted, paying fines, or receiving light punishments from the courts.

Approximately 600,000 of the 9.3 million persons whose identities have been removed from police criminal record files have already been notified, he revealed, of the approximately 13 million people whose names were formerly listed there.

A website that will allow the public to verify whether their names are in or have been removed from police records is being developed by the Royal Thai Police and is anticipated to go live at the end of this year.

Surachate explained that those whose names are still listed are doing so because their cases are still open.

Those individuals will be permitted to seek for and accept positions in the private or public sectors once their police criminal records have been cleared, according to assistant professor Dr. Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, director of Thammasat University’s law center.

There are currently three different categories of criminal records.

The first is a list of suspects who are under investigation but have not yet been charged or whose legal proceedings have not yet been resolved. This document is private and cannot be made available to the public.

People with convictions but no criminal record who received a one-month jail sentence, a fine, a suspended sentence, or who were found guilty of negligence fall under the second category of criminal records. Additionally regarded as confidential, this kind of record cannot be made available to the general public.

Except for reckless offenses, people who were found guilty and sentenced to more than one month in jail have a third criminal record.
