In light of recent changes in the security situation, such as the case of recruiting perpetrators in the dark and the lone wolf type attack case called "lone offender," the National Police Agency has instructed police nationwide to fundamentally review the way organizations are managed and staffed in order to focus on these measures.
At a meeting of police chiefs from all over Japan, National Police Agency Commissioner Yasuhiro Roki said at a meeting on March 3 that "the method of recruiting perpetrators on SNS is expanding not only to special fraud but also to robbery and theft.
Specifically, groups that repeatedly disperse and disperse through loose ties, such as dark bytes through SNS, are positioned as "anonymous and fluid criminal groups" and crackdown should be strengthened, information will be aggregated mainly by the security department as a countermeasure against lone wolf-type incidents called "lone offenders" and efforts should be made according to the degree of danger, and cybercrime and economic security. We are calling for the immediate progress of countermeasures, such as focusing on the allocation of personnel in a total of seven items.
In addition, he instructed the government to thoroughly improve and streamline operations by reviewing the way police stations and police boxes operate, supporting remote investigations using information and communication technology, and considering the introduction of wearable cameras attached to police officers' bodies.
The National Police Agency will set up a promotion headquarters headed by Commissioner Roki to take these measures, and will also check the status of police efforts nationwide.
