Japan's national police organization is made up of the National Public Safety Commission (NPSC) and the National Police Agency (NPA). The NPSC holds administrative supervision over the NPA and appoints the Commissioner General. As head of the NPA, the Commissioner General (警察庁長官 Keisatsu-chō Chōkan) holds the highest position in the Japanese police, but his title is not a police rank.
The NPA oversees the seven Regional Police Bureaus (RPB) and the prefectural police organizations. Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (警視庁 Keishichō) and Hokkaido Prefectural Police Headquarters are excluded from the jurisdiction of RPBs. Police stations in a prefecture are under the command of the prefecture headquarters. Tokyo MPD headquarters are located in the government buildings area beside the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.[1]

Superintendent (Rank 5)
Superintendent (警視 Keishi) is equivalent to:
- Director of a division/section in a prefectural police headquarters
- Hyoue Kuroda was transferred to Tokyo to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, and he introduces himself as the Director (管理官 kanrikan) of the Criminal Investigations Division 1 (捜査 一課 Sousa itsuka), so he presumably is a keishi.[19]

Assistant Police Inspector or Police Lieutenant (Rank 7)
Assistant Police Inspector (警部補 Keibu-ho) is attainable via promotion tests. Officers at this rank and potentially below can be referred to as 'keiji'.[34]
- When Conan impersonates Takagi, he calls Miwako Sato keibu-ho.[35] Given that she and Shiratori both believed the impersonation, it must be accurate.
- Yumi Miyamoto refers to Wataru Takagi once as keibu-ho, possibly as a future reference.[36] After Takagi allows a criminal to be killed under his watch, he is definitely a junsa-bucho, but whether he received a pay dock only or a demotion as well is unclear.[37]

- Kazunobu Chiba[40]
- Jinpei Matsuda
