Olympic and Paralympic Games Postponed Police Agency to review the posture March 25 13:53
The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will be postponed for about one year, and the Metropolitan Police Department, which is in charge of security and traffic regulation, will reconsider its future plans.
As security measures, we have introduced special fences to prevent terrorism using vehicles and "jamming guns" that block suspicious drones with jamming radio waves, and we are considering further reinforcement in the future.
According to stakeholders, in addition to using these equipment even if it is postponed, it can be used for other large-scale security, so we aim to introduce it as scheduled.
In addition, `` Olympic shift '' was laid out, such as placing personnel in the security and transportation departments at police stations holding competition venues due to personnel changes and reappointing retired people with extensive security experience . It is likely that such personnel assignments will be considered.
In addition, if the venue needs to be changed, a new security plan must be created, and a “dedicated lane” or “priority lane” can be reconfigured on surrounding roads for vehicles related to the tournament. It is also possible. The contractor was also determined by setting a budget for the signage indicating these lanes, etc., but it is said that the contract will be reviewed, such as the timing of installation.
On the other hand, there are continuing issues of foreigners flying drones without knowing Japanese law, and it is an issue to reduce traffic congestion by suppressing traffic in the city center, but postponements increase opportunities to be known Some people think that measures can be taken further.
