Fukuoka Police Unveil Anti-Scam Campaign With '緊急取調室 THE FINAL' Cast

Prompted by record losses from phone and SNS fraud, police stress that officers do not interrogate or request money over LINE.

Overview

  • On January 13, Fukuoka Prefectural Police hosted actors Yuki Amami, Tetsuji Tanaka, and Denden at headquarters to present a fraud‑prevention poster tied to the film.
  • Posters will be displayed at police stations and kobans across the prefecture as part of a coordinated public‑safety push.
  • Officials said they will release actor‑featured messages as videos on the prefectural website and YouTube at a later date.
  • Police reported 1,851 fraud cases and about ¥120 billion in losses in the prefecture from January through November, with a rise in scams using LINE video and other SNS tools.
  • Leaders warned that genuine officers do not conduct interrogations or seek payments via video calls, and Amami urged residents to verify suspicious contacts with police or family.
