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.

Equipment
There are no standard issue pistols carried by the Royal Thai Police. A
policeman working inside the organization has to buy his own
weapons and he/she must buy what's available in Thailand and
what he/she can afford. If the police officer cant afford one, they are
allow to purchase by paying installment through their own police cooperative.
One of the popular choice to many Thai police officers is the M1911A1,
the .45 ACP pistol in which can be found in Thailand commonly
while the 9mm Parabellum Glock 19 is another choice to the Thai
police officers.
Though the Thai police does not issue a pistol, heavy arms are always
available to the officers, such as the Heckler & Koch MP5 and FN
P90 sub-machine guns, Remington 870 shotguns M4
carbine and M16 rifle or other weapons.
