Japan regional police launch community initiatives to combat special fraud
Various regional police departments in Japan are implementing community-based initiatives to combat special fraud and increase crime prevention awareness.
In Aichi Prefecture, the Inuyama Police Station has launched a first-of-its-kind initiative in the prefecture by appointing employees from eight financial institutions and 21 branches as crime prevention advisors. These staff members will encourage customers to install a specialized fraud prevention app recommended by the National Police Agency.
In Kanagawa Prefecture, singer Sanae Yaguchi served as a one-day police chief in Yokohama's Isogo Ward. During the event, she advocated for the prevention of special fraud and performed with local junior high school students to promote community-wide safety awareness.
In Akita Prefecture, three children from Niida Nursery School in Odate City served as one-day police chiefs. As part of a national regional safety campaign, the children participated in activities to call for crime prevention and distribute flyers to the public.
