Introducing a call system with the police station on the police box Strengthening the response when absent, Metropolitan Police Department November 19, 0:00

The Metropolitan Police Department will introduce a system that allows all police boxes in Tokyo to communicate with police officers through speakers so that even if police officers are not on the police box on patrols, they can respond quickly when the victim of the incident rushes in. I decided that.

Police officers may be temporarily absent from the police box due to local patrols, etc., and in September, a woman in her twenties who rushed to the police box in Katsushika-ku, Tokyo for help, obscenely chased the man. There was an incident of being obscene.



Currently, there is a direct telephone system that allows people who visit the police box to contact the police station, but the Metropolitan Police Department says that further measures are needed and will introduce a system that allows two-way communication with the police station staff through speakers. I decided that.



There are a total of 1082 police boxes and police boxes in Tokyo, and the installation will be carried out sequentially from April next year.



In the police box, police officers have been attacked and their pistols have been robbed, which is said to be a deterrent to such cases.



The Metropolitan Police Department says, "We want to further strengthen the police box function for the safety and security of residents."
