Japanese police aim to make life safer for foreigners

Kyodo News reports that Japanese police are planning to educate foreign residents about crime prevention:

The prefectual police forces will sponsor seminars on crime prevention and road traffic safety in foreign communities based on comprehensive basic guidelines compiled for the safety of such communities, the NPA said.

The police forces will also join hands with local government organizations, business corporations and citizen groups in implementing crime prevention measures, the NPA said, adding that they will monitor employment conditions in foreign communities as factors that may induce crime.

This effort is apparently being made to make life better for foreign residents and prevent organized crime groups and terrorists from “sneaking into certain foreign communities.”

“Japanese police aim to make life safer for foreigners”

Both actually.

The problem arises from foreign communities and affects them very early in the process.
And bam, there you have a bunch of juvenile French delinquents… or something like that… organized crime!

This will only work if the police set up an elaborate, high-tech center where people can visit and “experience” life as a policeman. Kind of like the Abeno Disaster Center in Osaka with its earthquake simulators.

Is that still standing? the last time I was in Osaka, 2 weeks ago, about half of Abeno was torn down. All of the Shoutengai and most of the complexes behind Lucias/Apollo were gone.

It’s a good thing, too. It was getting pretty scary back there! I have heard that they’re sticking a big Itouyoukadou mall in that space next year. ^_^

how about stopping the excessive police racism first?….

maybe its just a way that they can gather a whole community and arrest everyone for not being Japanese?

I smell conspiracy.

The police harass forgers for no reason in Japan.
I was stopped last week after work and told forgers had to be in by 12:00 midnight or they will be subject to being stopped and bags checked.
And show your ID as 2 loud drunk Japanese passed us and looking at me ad if I were a dangerous foreigner, I commented to the officer wow they are really drunk and noisy he looked and continued to take all the information from my card.

The Japanese Government is preparing a new Gaijin card with an IC chip to track were all of the forgers go in there country.
this law will be pass soon.

NYPD should start to jam up Japanese on vacation in New York
and as for passports and why are they are here and what is there country and what is in your bag and we will see how fast the Japanese media starts crying on TV
