Police stations and chuzaisho(where policemen live) |
|
are located close to where the local residents live to keep the neighborhoods safe. At a police station, several officers on shifts work together, but at a chuzaisho, there is only one police officer, who lives there with his family and is on duty at all times. The policemen that work at the police stations or the chuzaisho not only patrol the area, investigate crimes, conduct traffic control, give directions, and deal with lost items, but also visit homes and businesses to discuss any problems the residents may have or to listen to any suggestions the residents have for the police or opinions they have about the police. They also give out information on preventive methods of getting involved in crimes and accidents.
