The police have been conducting preliminary inspections since the end of last month to promote the comprehensive security measures. The person in charge will analyze security needs and formulate comprehensive measures through the Crime Prevention and Response Strategy Meeting.
Police stations also established detailed plans to meet the local security conditions. They also checked the areas vulnerable to crime and accidents, and shared the weak points between each function.
The police will set up summer police stations (7 stations, 31 locations) mainly in popular summer resort areas. In addition to 239 full-time career officers, mobile patrol units will be deployed to strengthen patrols.
The police will also use specialized patrol teams to identify risk factors in advance. For festivals and events that attract large crowds, the police will ask the organizers to assign safety personnel and make facilities available.
Police officers stationed at local festivals and venues will be conducting comprehensive prevention activities regardless of their function. They will also be able to respond quickly to relationship crimes such as sexual crimes at summer resorts and violence against partners.
The police will also be conducting crackdown activities to deal strictly with illegal activities. Special criminal activities during the summer vacation (July 26th to August 17th), special activities for drunk and drug driving, etc.
Separate crackdowns (July 14th to August 24th) will also be carried out, as well as campaigns to establish traffic order, including on safety belts, unauthorized crossings, and bosozoku (motorcycle gangs).
When a serious crime or disaster is reported, the police must be dispatched first.
The police plan to assign code 1 or higher to areas that are not suitable for the summer vacation period and make every effort to respond to the situation. A police official said, "The summer vacation period is the time of year when security demands are at their peak. It is also a time when crime is likely to occur, as the area is vulnerable to natural disasters such as torrential rains and typhoons.
"This is to promote comprehensive security measures for crime prevention and disaster preparedness and to ease public anxiety."
