  • 07 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thai riot police leave their duty stations after being relieved when protesters trying to reach the parliament building in Bangkok ended their protest. About 2,500 protestors opposed to an amnesty bill proposed by Thailand's ruling party marched towards the Thai parliament in the morning. The amnesty could allow exiled fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to return to Thailand. Thaksin's supporters are in favor of the bill but Thai Yellow Shirts and government opponents are against the bill. Thai police deployed about more than 10,000 riot police and closed roads around the parliament. Although protest leaders called off the protest rather than confront police, a few people were arrested for assaulting police when they tried to break through police lines. Several police officers left the scene under medical care after they collapsed in the heat.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 05 MAY 2003 -- SELLS, AZ:  A Tohono O'Odham police officer talks to a family of undocumented immigrants from the Mexican state of Jalisco who he found hiding in the back of the passenger compartment of the pickup truck on the left. The driver of the truck was stopped by a Tohono OOdham tribal police officer for speeding on AZ 86 east of Sells, AZ, the capital of Tohono OOdham Indian Reservation, May 5, 2003. The Tohono OOdham reservation covers a vast expanse of Southern Arizona and has a 70 mile border with Mexico. In recent years the reservation has been flooded with undocumented immigrants who pass through the reservation on their way north to Phoenix, AZ, and other cities in the US.

  • 26 SEPTEMBER 2014 - PATTAYA, CHONBURI, THAILAND: Members of the Foreign Tourist Police Assistants (FTPA) patrol Walking Street in Pataya. The FTPA assist local police in dealing with foreign tourists but don't have arrest powers. Pataya, a beach resort about two hours from Bangkok, has wrestled with a reputation of having a high crime rate and being a haven for sex tourism. After the coup in May, the military government cracked down on other Thai beach resorts, notably Phuket and Hua Hin, putting military officers in charge of law enforcement and cleaning up unlicensed businesses that encroached on beaches. Pattaya city officials have launched their own crackdown and clean up in order to prevent a military crackdown. City officials have vowed to remake Pattaya as a "family friendly" destination. City police and tourist police now patrol "Walking Street," Pattaya's notorious red light district, and officials are cracking down on unlicensed businesses on the beach.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
