The Prime Minister Honors Contributors to the Building of Safe and Reassuring Communities
Thursday, October 17, 2013
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a ceremony to commend contributors to the building of safe and reassuring communities at the Prime Minister's Office.
The Prime Minister said in his address,
"All of you have been engaged with individual ingenuity in voluntary crime prevention activities, including patrolling, watching over children in school zones, visiting the homes of elderly people and making efforts in environment beautification, and have made great contribution in ensuring the safety of and giving reassurance to residents. You are precisely the role-model of the region.
These daily efforts raise people's awareness that they need to take action themselves to protect their own community, and at the same time form a base for making Japan the safest and most reassuring country in the world.
I expect that your valuable efforts will be expanded further and contribute to realizing a society resistant to crime.
I want to close my remarks by requesting that everyone continue to exert every effort for the promotion and development of voluntary crime prevention activities in each region in the future.
Congratulations."
