NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION (JAPAN)
The is a Japanese Cabinet Office commission.
The commission consists of a chairman, who holds the rank of Minister of State, and five members appointed by the prime minister with the consent of both houses of the Diet. The commission operates independently of the cabinet, but coordinates with it through the Minister of State.
The commission's function is to guarantee the neutrality of the police system by insulating the force from political pressure and ensuring the maintenance of democratic methods in police administration. It administers the National Police Agency, and has the authority to appoint or dismiss senior police officers.
Historically, the commission has kept watch over the activities of communists in Japan; it is believed that it watches for extreme nationalist activists as well. Liberals have long criticized the secrecy of the commission and have cautioned that it undermines the rights of the Japanese people.
