He urged all police cadets to study the organizational structure of the Royal Thai Police to gain understanding, as well as the 2022 National Police Act and the principles of the rule of law.

Upon graduation, this marks their first step in their careers, during which they must take responsibility for themselves, their work, and their families. Despite obstacles and temptations in their work, he urged them to always uphold correctness, avoid misconduct, be prudent, maintain a steadfast commitment to goodness, adhere to the law, rule of law, and justice, which will safely lead them to success.
