Abstract

The investigation of a criminal case is a major responsibility of the Royal Thai Police in the justice system. This investigation process is the first step before those criminal cases will be delivered to the prosecutor, the judge and the collectionprocess respectively. The inquiry police arekey persons in charge of investigating criminal cases.They, therefore, play a significant role in influencing the fundamental justice process for the benefit of the people and the society. However, the responsibility of the inquiry police was widely questioned about the transparency by the public, which resulted in the decline in people’s trust toward the role of the Thai police. As a result, there are a lot of debates on how to develop the investigation system executed by the Royal Thai Police. Focusing on the qualitative method, this research proposes three possible structures of the development of police investigation system. Each structure introduces different internal arrangements; however, they achieve the same objective of how to improve the police investigation system to benefit Thai people as a whole.
