The Japanese public security police do not appear in dramas and movies as spectacularly as the American CIA and FBI, and their intelligence activities are largely unknown to the general public. After joining the Metropolitan Police Department, he served as a public security field for 17 years and retired several years ago. We asked Mr. Enkaku Katsumaru, who published "Foreign Affairs Division, Public Security Bureau, Public Security Bureau" (Kobunsha) in September last year, about the necessities for public security investigators. *** ***

Public security investigators have the "tools" they need to follow and monitor their targets. "There's nothing flashy like in the 007 movie, but there are some necessities," says Katsumaru. "The main ones are" monoculars "and ultra-small" cameras. "Monoculars are used to visually recognize targets at a distance. Unlike binoculars, both hands are not blocked, which is convenient. There are various types of cameras.

"There are also types that are put in glasses, shoes, belt buckles, etc. However, if you get on the train and find it by the general public, there is a risk of being mistaken for a voyeur, so use it except when absolutely necessary. I don't. "The Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Department has staff like Q (Quartermaster Quartermaster) in the 007 series. "Pen-shaped cameras and high-performance sound-recovery microphones are sold at Amazon, Rakuten, etc. There are investigators who buy and improve them. Mostly, people who are dexterous or university-based. Apart from that, there are technicians who specialize in props, not police officers, in the Public Safety and General Affairs Division of the Police Agency and the Security Bureau of the Police Agency. It's annoying to hear a lot about it, so we try to make it ourselves as much as possible. ”When monitoring a target, the camera and high-performance sound pickup microphone are the most useful. "Even if you use a high-performance sound pickup microphone, you cannot always hear everything because of the noise. If the target is talking at a coffee shop and the waiter brings a drink, you will not be able to hear the conversation with the waiter's voice. The conversation is also recorded, and it is quite difficult to grasp the content of the conversation accurately. "In such a case, the camera is useful. "The camera shoots a video. The reason for shooting a video instead of a still image is to understand the content of the conversation by lip reading. In a secret investigation that hides behind the target, try to record it as a video as much as possible. It is said that there were several investigators in the Public Safety Foreign Affairs Division 1 to which Mr. Katsumaru belonged, who could read the conversation with the movement of his lips even if he could not hear his voice.
