Former Prime Minister Abe shooting ``Insufficient information sharing and command, gap in rear guard'' National Police Agency

In the incident where former Prime Minister Abe was shot and died during a speech, the National Police Agency changed the assignment of police officers just before the speech, but information sharing and command at the scene were insufficient, and there was a gap in the rear guard. I clarified the problem, such as being born.

With a view to reviewing the rules for guarding VIPs, the government plans to summarize the results of the investigation this month.

On the 8th of last month, former Prime Minister Abe was shot and killed by a gun during a speech in Nara City, and the National Police Agency, which is investigating the security at the time that the attack could not be prevented, is currently on the 5th. I've clarified the issues I've raised.

According to this, the "protection and security plan" created by the Nara Prefectural Police easily followed precedents such as the LDP Secretary-General Motegi giving a speech at the same place in June, and sufficient consideration was not carried out. I'm assuming.

Regarding the deployment of police officers, the place where the former prime minister gave his speech was surrounded by guardrails, and at first, three police officers, including the SP, were on guard inside. One police officer who was in the room went inside and was relocated.

Around the same time, the focus of vigilance shifted to the front as the number of people in the front increased. It is said that the gap was created by not taking command such as reinforcing the personnel who guarded the rear of the former prime minister because he was not able to grasp it.

In addition, there was a lack of awareness that information on the Internet and other sources had made it easier to manufacture guns, and there was a lack of uniformed police officers, who were said to be effective in deterring crime. are also mentioned as problems.

The National Police Agency plans to compile the results of the investigation this month, with a view to reviewing the "Guidelines for Guarding" in order to strengthen its involvement in guarding VIPs, such as by receiving advance reports on local guarding and security plans.
