Border Patrol Police

The Border Patrol Police (BPP; Thai: ตำรวจตระเวนชายแดน) is a paramilitary police law enforcement agency under the jurisdiction of the Royal Thai Police (RTP), legally mandated with comprehensive responsibilities encompassing border security across the frontiers of the Kingdom of Thailand—specifically through territorial preservation and the interdiction of illicit activities within its border jurisdiction. This includes maintaining security along strategic border corridors where diplomatic and international legal constraints preclude the direct deployment of regular military forces.

Concurrently, the BPP executes civilian-centric disaster relief to assist populations affected by natural calamities, population-centric counterinsurgency and hearts-and-minds operations, and statutory law enforcement operations within austere and non-permissive terrains.

In urban domains, the asset provides critical operational support for crowd and riot control management upon official request from the Royal Thai Police Protection and Crowds Control Division (PDD), except during tactical emergencies in high-risk, non-permissive zones where the BPP retains immediate statutory enforcement authority.
