Japanese police departments are conducting community outreach programs focused on safety and digital literacy for children.

In Sakai, the Minami Sakai Police Station utilized theatrical performances featuring the character ‘Tomato Detective Tomatine’ to teach children kidnapping prevention and life-protection principles. 

In Okayama, the Prefectural Police organized a network security classroom at Notre Dame Seishin University Affiliated Elementary School. The workshop, which included approximately 110 students and parents, utilized student volunteers from the Okayama University of Science as instructors. The curriculum focused on internet morality, including password security, the risks of online defamation, the necessity of verifying AI-generated information, and the legal consequences of privacy violations.
