Regional Police Bureaus (RPB) are subordinate to the NPA.
There are six RPBs nationwide. They are located in major cities of each geographic region.
Kantō Regional Police Bureau has the following Prefectures: Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, Niigata, Yamanashi, Nagano, and Shizuoka.
The Police Act requires that each prefectural government have its own police organization to carry out police duties within its jurisdiction.
There are two types of law enforcement officials in Japan, depending on the underlying provision: Police officers of Prefectural Police Departments (prescribed as Judicial police officials 司法警察職員) and Special judicial police officials (特別司法警察職員), dealing with specialized fields with high expertise.
Law enforcement in Japan is provided mainly by prefectural police under the oversight of the National Police Agency.
The National Police Agency is administered by the National Public Safety Commission, ensuring that Japan's police are an apolitical body and free of direct central government executive control. They are checked by an independent judiciary and monitored by a free and active press.
