Mie Prefectural Police will carry out a period of special patrol in Year-end/New Year during 41 days, between December 1, 2016 to January 10, 2017. In this period, police patrol will be intensified, based on the following issues. We count on the collaboration of all.

  1. Crime prevention on establishments operating early morning such as restaurants, convenience stores, banks and other locations managing high amount in cash.
  2. House intrusion prevention and crimes involving women and children.
  3. Reduction of fatalities caused by traffic accidents.

In order to protect yourself against crimes and spend a peaceful Year-end/ New Year, it is needed to follow the 3 main measures below:

  • Prevention against house intrusion
    – Keep the doors locked when go to sleep or when leave home.
    – Install extra locks on windows and doors.
  • Prevention on vehicles break-in
    – When get off your car always lock the doors.
    – Never leave valuables inside your car.
  • Damage prevention involving specified frauds
    – One of the most common scam is the one in which thieves pretend to be sons or grandsons saying they “have lost a check from the company” or “got a married woman pregnant”, and ask for high amount in cash.
    – Other scam is when they pretend to be employees from city hall, saying “there is a refund of medical treatment” and force the victims to deposit high amount in cash through ATMs.
    ★ These kind of calls are scams! Be careful for not be mislead.

◎ When witnessing a crime or accident, and there is a need of police presence as soon as possible, call “110” for emergency service.

◎ In other cases of crime or accident with no urgency, call “#9110”.
