Okinawa Prefectual Public Safty Comossion

The Okinawa Prefectural Public Safety Commission is a government agency that oversees police operations across the island prefecture and coordinates law enforcement policies. It manages local police station operations and establishes security standards for all municipalities under its jurisdiction.

The commission was established in 1954 following Japan's national police system reorganization that created prefectural departments. This reform allowed local control over police operations while maintaining national coordination.

The commission integrates traditional Okinawan community values into its public safety approach, considering the prefecture's distinct island heritage and local customs.

Visitors can access information through the agency's website or visit offices during standard business hours for safety-related questions. The commission maintains locations in major towns across the islands for convenient access.

The commission manages special coordination protocols involving the numerous military bases located across the islands. This civilian-military cooperation framework makes its operations distinct within Japan's police administration.
