Kyoto Prefectural Police, Law enforcement headquarters in Kamigyo, Kyoto, Japan
The Kyoto Prefectural Police operates from a central facility with 190 police boxes and 90 residential police stations throughout the prefecture.
The organization transformed from a decentralized structure to its current form in 1954 under Japan's amended Police Law, establishing prefecture-level departments.
Officers maintain strong connections with residents through neighborhood patrols and partnerships with local crime prevention volunteer groups across Kyoto Prefecture.
The headquarters provides emergency services through the 110 phone number and manages lost item recovery, driver's license procedures, and crime prevention resources.
The Gion-Kiyamachi Police Squad specializes in monitoring entertainment districts while the Heian Mounted Police patrol school routes on horseback.
