For Crime,
Theft and Traffic Accidents: Dial 110 For the Police
If You Have Been Burglarized
If your home has been burglarized, contact the
police right away. You can either go to the nearest police box
or station, or call 110 anytime from anywhere in Japan. To call
from a pay phone, press the emergency button located on the
phone, then push 1-1-0. People tend to become panicked during
an emergency, but please try to remain as calm as possible.
It’s a good idea to practice some key phrases in Japanese
in a slow and clear voice. When you call the police, give them
the necessary information in the following order:
(1) Description:
Burglarized = Dorobo desu.
Accident = Jiko desu.
(2) Location:
The location is xxx. = xxx desu.
The location is in front of the xxx Apartment. = xxx apato no mae
desu.
(3) Your Name:
This is xxx speaking. = xxx desu.
If your bankbooks, cash or credit cards have been stolen, remember
to contact the banks and appropriate companies.
When You Are Involved in a Traffic Accident
When you are involved in a traffic accident, first call 110. If
there is an injured person, remember to ask for an ambulance at
the same time.
Please pay special attention to the following when there is a traffic
accident:
(1) Write down the name, address, telephone number and driver’s
license number of the other party, the license plate number of the
other vehicle, the name of his/her insurance company, policy number
and type of insurance.
(2) When there is a witness, please ask, if possible, for his/her
statement and how you can contact him/her in the future.
(3) If you are hurt (particularly in the head and/or neck) and even
when there is no visible injury, please go to the hospital for a
professional examination.
When You or Your Belongings Get Lost - Go to the Police Box
Japan has a police system that is unique - police boxes with policemen
on duty are scattered throughout the community. Designed to provide
convenient assistance, they handle a wide range of matters, including
crime, traffic accidents, lost items, missing persons, runaways
and assistance in giving directions.
