About 1,500 security officers will guard the Supreme Court building at Sanam Luang and nearby areas leading up to Feb 26, the day of the court’s ruling on whether the state should seize Thaksin Shinawatra’s assets.
Deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Division 1 Vicharnvat Borirakkul yesterday said the security forces would be made up mainly of police.
They will be joined by soldiers and civilian volunteers.
About 1,500 police officers have been ordered on stand-by in their units, Pol Col Vicharnvat said.
Another 5,000 security officers will be mobilised in other areas to safeguard the capital.
The security operation will be launched according to the ‘‘Thanwa 52’’ plan which calls for the division of Bangkok into three zones.
Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Santan Chayanon is heading the operation.
About 200 checkpoints will be set up around Bangkok and nearby provinces, while security measures will be stepped up at important places such as Government House, parliament and Chitralada Palace.
