Japan community safety campaigns target fraud and traffic accidents

As part of the National Community Safety Campaign, local authorities and organizations in Japan are conducting awareness activities to prevent special fraud and traffic accidents.

In Ako City, the Ako Police Station and various agencies held street campaigns to promote traffic safety and the use of the ‘Hyogo Crime Prevention Net Plus’ app. Local financial institutions also participated by issuing warnings to prevent fraudulent transactions.

In Saga Prefecture, the Ogi Police Station and JA Saga conducted outreach to residents, distributing leaflets and crime prevention apps. To encourage traffic safety, they distributed local specialty ‘Ogi Yokan’ sweets as part of a campaign to remind drivers to be mindful of road conditions.
