DigiPolice is a crime prevention app provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Public Safety General Affairs Division to deliver crime and crime prevention information within Tokyo.
In DigiPolice, once you set your "My Area," the crime situation in that area will be displayed on the top screen. You can also add comments to the map information and share it with family and friends via social media or email.
In addition, by setting the newly installed international number blocking system, you can block fraudulent calls (international numbers and numbers known to the police to be used in criminal activities) that come to your smartphone.
