Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the policy for promoting and developing forensic science services of the private sector in Thailand, the problems and obstacles in the government's forensic science services in Thailand, and the policy proposals and measures to promote and develop forensic science services in both the public and private sectors in Thailand. Qualitative research methods were employed in data collection, including documentary research and in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that the first problem of forensic science service was the process delay. It means the process of forensic examination takes a long time. The structure and management of the service are not distributed evenly around the country. Moreover, the second problem was the shortage of personnel. It was recommended that the government should create incentives to raise the forensic work to be a profession, create a system that gives independence for forensic examination, as well as increase the budget for forensic science supports. For the promotion of private forensic science services, the private sector should be regulated and supervised by a government agency with quality controls. At the same time, the government should support the provision of private forensic science services in terms of finance and tax deduction. Moreover, the government should establish a forensic science professional council to control forensic science work standards and build the credibility of forensic science services for both public and private sectors. In addition, the central agency for forensic investigation supervision should be established to meet international standards and control fair forensic science service prices.
