This spring marked a historic milestone for the Fukuoka Prefectural Police, as their riot control unit welcomed its first female deputy commander and several female team members. During a public demonstration on April 11, the newly appointed officers showcased their skills in managing riots, focusing on defensive formations and responses to projectiles. These appointments reflect the department’s commitment to integrating diverse perspectives that strengthen and bring new sensibilities to the team. This initiative aligns with a broader effort to enhance female representation within the police force, traditionally low in this sector. The Fukuoka Police Department remains dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees. Source: NHK
