# Border Police Serve the People poster, PPB-367 (Thai, Bangkok)

A Thai-language photo poster on the Thai Border Police. A blue-toned village road with huts leads under the headline 'Border Police Serve the People'. Smaller photographs show uniformed men with villagers and medical work, a classroom lesson, men leading buffalo and a helmeted man at a border sign. The text says the force acts as peacekeeper, doctor, teacher and development worker. The tell is card-stacking: only helping roles appear, and the law-enforcement role is shown only as guarding the border.

Border Police Serve the People

For the well-being and security of the people, the Border Police are at once keepers of the peace, doctors, teachers and development workers, helping to put villages in order, as at Ban Kham Phai, Phon Phisai district, Nong Khai province, in the large picture, so that the community is generally peaceful and content.
