2) Police Enforcement: NHF supports work that directly influences the Royal Thai Police and their efforts to prioritize the enforcement of speed limit and helmet use laws on the road. Alongside key leaders in the Thai Police Bureau, NHF reviewed lessons learned and best practices pertaining to proper helmet enforcement in five different local areas throughout the country. From this information, NHF conducted a workshop with key officials in order to introduce a recommendation paper to be implemented throughout the country.
