About Security Police (SP)

Security Police (or 'SP') is a real-life specialized unit within Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division, which provides executive protection to Prime Minister, members of Japanese Diet, visiting dignitaries and other persons of interest, excluding the Emperor of Japan. (Emperor and Imperial Family is guarded by Imperial Guard Headquarters, yet another unit of TMPD. Even though all members are also SP trained, they are considered a separate branch.)
Entry requirements for this most prestigious unit is quite high, on par with famed SAT. All candidates must be active duty police officers, must be at least 170cm tall, must hold a third-degree black belt in judo, kendo, or aikido, having advanced pistol shooting skills, and being able to converse in English. Among police officers deemed suitable to be SPs, those recommended by their superiors in their departments undergo three months of special training at police facilities such as police academies. Attaining a position in the unit requires knowledge in arrest techniques, hand-to-hand combat skills, marksmanship (the ability to hit a 10-centimeter diameter target 25 meters away with a pistol with five or more shots within 10 seconds—in Japan, police officers typically use .38 caliber revolvers with six rounds, so all rounds must be fired within the time limit), and strong physical and mental fortitude to spot suspicious individuals before they can. They are required to dress impeccably, often with a black suit and wear their small 'SP' badges on the left lapels of their jackets.

Furthermore, it demands knowledge in evasive driving skills, teamwork with colleagues, self-control, self-management abilities, a strong adherence to the law, etiquette for dealing with VIPs, and, in extreme situations, a spirit of self-sacrifice, such as charging headfirst into the path of a suspect's weapon or gun barrel, literally becoming a human shield and taking injuries, or in the worst case, dying in the line of duty. Despite the dangers and demanding requirements, unit never seems to run out of candidates.

SP officers are believed to be one of the finest marksmen in the Japanese Police, after SAT. At a public training exercise held at Akasaka State Guest House on March 13, 1986, it was demonstrated that they can deal with armed criminals using only handguns at close range. According to a report, only 2% of the SP is staffed by women. (In Japan, female police officers constitue about 30% of the force for the comparison.)

SP gained some fame in 2008, after the tv series Security Police (SP 警視庁警備部警護課第四係, SP Keishicho Keibibu Keigoka Daiyon-gakari) was aired by Fuji TV, which tells the story of an SP officer with psychic abilities. This character is somewhat based on main female lead, Sergeant Eri Sakamoto (played by Yoko Mari), one of my role models when growing up.
