Royal Thai Police (RTP) first came into existence in the year 1455, over 500 years
ago. However, the modernization of the RTP system came during the reign of King
Rama IV, designed by an Englishman named Captain Joseph Byrd Ames. Captain
Ames was the Captain of an English vessel at the time but was given the
responsibility for establishing the first uniform police unit in Thailand. Ames,
himself, was appointed the first uniform police commander by King Rama IV.
The present structure of RTP is governed by a Royal Decree on the Division of the
Royal Thai Police, created in 2009. It is comprised of thirty bureaus and six
divisions directly under the RTP.
