Osaka Prefectural Police, Municipal police headquarters in Osaka, Japan
The Osaka Prefectural Police operates through multiple specialized divisions covering administration, criminal investigation, traffic control, and community safety across the prefecture.
The organization was established in 1955 following Japan's post-war police system reformation, which transformed centralized law enforcement into regional departments.
The department implements a community-based policing model that integrates local citizens through Public Safety Commissions for operational oversight.
With 66 police stations spread throughout the prefecture, the force maintains public order and provides emergency services to residents and visitors.
The department features specialized Mobile Traffic Units established in response to increased automobile usage, marking a significant evolution in Japanese traffic enforcement.
