Multiple incidents of misconduct involving Japanese police officers have been reported across several prefectures. In Nara Prefecture, two officers resigned after admitting to engaging in sexual activity within police facilities between August and September. This followed similar disciplinary issues in Hyogo and Kanagawa prefectures involving the misuse of police offices and breakrooms.

In Ehime Prefecture, the police department issued reprimands to a male sergeant for inappropriate behavior with an acquaintance and to a female officer for accumulating significant personal debt. Additionally, in Fukui Prefecture, a male assistant inspector resigned and was referred to prosecutors for suspected embezzlement of an abandoned bicycle and driving under the influence.
