With the opening of the Tokyo Olympics coming up next week, a rally was held by a private security company that guards the competition venues, and the representative stated that he would like to guard so that all athletes can concentrate on the competition. ..
On the other hand, in response to the fact that most of the venues have become unattended, the Games Organizing Committee has decided to review its posture.
The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will be held at 43 competition venues, mainly in Tokyo, and in addition to the police, a joint venture formed by 553 private security companies will guard the venue and its surroundings.
Approximately 30 security company executives gathered at the rally on the 12th in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and the chief security officer of the Organizing Committee, Toshiro Yonemura, said, "Unfortunately, the preconditions have changed significantly due to the lack of spectators. , I want you to bring together the power of the private sector and complete the security firmly. "
Next, Yasuo Nakayama, the representative of the joint venture, stated his determination, "I want to be on guard so that all athletes can concentrate on the competition and play an active role."
Last month, the Organizing Committee announced plans to deploy a maximum of about 18,000 private security guards per day, but since then, most venues such as Tokyo have become unattended, and the situation has changed. It means that we are reviewing the placement.
The final position will be announced by the 23rd of this month, when the Tokyo Olympics will begin.
