Best Wishes for Continued Successes
We held a ceremony for the transferring police officers in the chief's room on March 27, 2025.
I want them to make use of their experiences in Misawa for next assignment.

We are focusing on prevention of victimization of children and women by crimes; victimization by investment and romance fraud via social media or by burglary; and prevention of shoplifting.
We ask for your cooperation for building a community where everyone can live in safe without crimes.

The Best Preparation for Massive Natural Disasters
Early in the morning on April 22, all of our staff were called at the police station and a large-scale natural disaster drill was carried out.
Natural disasters can happen anytime. We are prepared for massive natural disasters, conducting drills in which each staff checks their tasks and equipment.

Written Pledges for Safe Driving
We received "written pledges for safe driving" to educate the public about the protection of pedestrians crossing the street from 78 business establishments (1,740 people) of the Safe Driving Management Association for Business Owners and the Safe Driving Managers' Association.
We truly appreciate them.

Establishment of Election Violations Control Headquarters
On June 23, 2025, at 3 PM, we set up "Election Violations Control Headquarters" for the 27th Upper House Election.

Summer Prefectural Traffic Safety Campaign
Summer Prefectural Traffic Safety Campaign is held from July 21 to July 31.
Summer tourist season is here, so it is concerned that traffic volume will increase more than ever.
We will intensify various police activities including crackdowns on traffic violations in order to prevent traffic accidents.
We also ask not only drivers but also pedestrians to follow the traffic rules and have good traffic manners.

Result of the Aomori Prefectural Police Judo and Kendo Competition
Here's a report. Our kendo team participated in the Aomori Prefectural Police Judo and Kendo Competition held in Aomori city and won the first place in Group B (a group of the comparable police stations in size).
We will continue to train our body and mind for execution of our duties.

The days are getting shorter!
Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign is held from September 21 to September 30.
It's getting dark earlier these days, so it is concerned that the number of fatal traffic will increase at twilight and night. I have a few favors to ask.
Pedestrians should wear accessories with reflective materials and brightly colored clothing so that drivers can easily see them. When crossing the road, look in both directions and make sure it's safe.
Drivers should turn on the headlights earlier and utilize high beams in the evening. Never use a smartphone while driving and drive after drinking. Distracted driving and DUI can result in serious accidents.
Finally, cyclists and riders of small motorized bicycles must follow traffic rules and wear bicycle helmets. I kindly ask for your cooperation.
