Regarding "lost items" managed by the police, the National Police Agency will integrate the information handled by the police of each prefecture, develop a system that can be searched collectively anywhere, and will start in some prefectures from next year.
Until now, information on "lost items" managed by the police as lost and found items was handled by the police of each prefecture, but the National Police Agency will establish a system that allows them to be searched collectively anywhere across prefectures.
Specifically, we will integrate information from the police in each region and start operating a system that can be searched on the National Police Agency website in some prefectures from March next year.
The system will be operated in
Aomori,
Niigata,
Nagano,
Fukui,
Kyoto,
Nara,
Tottori,
Okayama,
Nagasaki, and
Oita, for a
total of 10 prefectures. We hope to operate nationwide by the end of the 8th fiscal year.
In addition, it will be possible to report lost items online, which used to be done at the police station or police box.
On the other hand, found items still need to be handed over to the police, and even when picking up lost items, it is necessary to go to the police to verify identity.
According to the National Police Agency, there were 3,565,907 reports of lost items and 17,136,127 reports of found items last year. about it.
