KOBAN and RESIDENTIAL POLICE BOX
As a Symbol of Safe and Secure Environment of Your Community
- KOBAN - staffed by 3 shifts, each with police officers from police station
- RESIDENTIAL POLICE BOX - generally manned by one resident officer with his family. Each KOBAN and RESIDENTIAL POLICE BOX has its areas of operations and is primarily responsible for the security of a section it covers.
4. To begin with, the system was adopted by Singapore in 1984, and has spread out to some cities in America nowadays to promote public peace.
5. The Kanagawa Prefectural Police has been forwarding a plan of building various exterior styles of KOBAN / RESIDENTIAL POLICE BOX that goes well with the scenery/image of the community in which they are located,such as lighthouse-style, cruiser-style, mountain-style etc..
- Dial 110 in case of a crime or accident

7. You can identify a KOBAN / RESIDENTIAL POLICE BOX easily by its red lamp.
