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]

Police Department Sections

Police Station personnel are divided into seven departments or bureaus[2]:

  • Administration Department
  • Traffic Department
  • Security Department (Security for domestic and foreign dignitaries; also subversive activities and counterintelligence[3])
    • Junpei Matsuda was on the bomb squad in this department.[4]
  • Community Police Affairs Department
    • Police Boxes (Koban)
    • Residential Police Boxes (Chuzaisho)
    • Patrol cars
  • Criminal Investigation Department (刑事部 Keijibu)
    • Division 2: Handles gangster-related and white-collar crimes[5]
    • Division 1: Handles everything else[5]
    • Criminal Identification[5]
  • Community Safety Department
  • Organized Crime Control Department

Within departments, there may be specialized units, such as the Identification Division that collects crime scene evidence. [6]

Police Ranks

There are nine legal police ranks and one honorary rank for all positions within the police force. [7]
