Security Police, Abe's security unit, is the elite forces of Japan, but made many mistakes when the former Prime Minister was assassinated.

The Japanese National Police Agency (NPA) said on July 9, which would investigate errors in security guarantee for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe after his death.

The main responsibility in ensuring the safety of Mr. Abe was the security police officers (SP), the weak guard unit of the Urban Police Department of Tokyo.

SP is tasked with protecting the Japanese Prime Minister and the former Prime Ministers, the Ministers, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Senate President and the Japanese House of Representatives, Governor Tokyo, foreign guests such as heads and

SP officers can also ensure security for the Vice President of the Senate and the House of Representatives and the leaders of the key parties of Japan, although this task is not in their official activities.

This is one of the most elite forces of the Japanese police, with very strict input standards.

They must be over 1.73 m tall, reach the three -level black belt in at least one martial art and must be able to shoot the guns.

SP officers on duty are wearing plain clothes and wearing bulletproof shirts, equipped with standard weapons of NPA including S&W 37 rotary rotary guns or semi -automatic SIG P230, with batons, flashlights and radios.

However, the assassination of Mr. Abe showed that this force still has many shortcomings and errors in security.

SP officers stood around when Mr. Abe spoke to the crowd hundreds of people at an intersection outside the train station, but they did not have a move to ban roads or limit traffic.

While Mr. Abe said, buses and trucks were still comfortable running in the street right behind him.

The suspect Tetsuya Yamagami approached the former Japanese Prime Minister from behind, stood at a distance of 5 meters and exploded the first shot.

It was only when the suspect exploded the second shot, causing Mr. Abe to collapse, and the bodyguards rushed into Yamagami.

Anyone can shoot Mr. Abe from that distance.

The goals need to be surrounded in all directions.

NPA officials refused to announce the number and location of the protection force of Mr. Abe, with this reason that this could affect the work of ensuring future security.

Protecting weaknesses in Japan seems to revolve around dealing with cold weapons such as swords and batons.

In the US, the Secret Service protects the president and high -ranking politicians always taking into account the risk of being attacked by gun and explosives, sometimes they also deploy their own sniper gunner in the surrounding high -rise buildings.

They left Japan about the ability to handle suspects when protecting security for weak people, leading a crisis handling company in the US.

The Japanese police announced that the officers and security officers would not be able to stop the shooting against Mr. Abe.

The security forces are thin, lack of vigilance, while the crowd can come too close are the gaps that make the gunmen close to shoot Mr. Shinzo Abe.
