During May 28 – June 2, 2016 in Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary (HKK), WCS co-organized patrol training with Kaeng Krachan National Park (KKNP) to improve capacities of KKNP rangers in order to maintain and maximize their patrol performance. The aim of the training is specifically set to refresh rangers’ skills in patrol techniques, weapon use, inspection and arrest. There are 28 KKNP patrol rangers participated in this training. On the last day, they observed HKK monthly patrol meeting to see how Smart Patrol System runs in wildlife sanctuary such as HKK which is a pilot site and patrol system has been continually well strengthened.
Overall, patrol rangers have learned and practiced on patrol techniques, teamwork, arrest and weapon use instructed by a team of Border Patrol Police.
