Reni Serves as One-Day Police Chief for the Eighth Time

Reni has once again taken on the role of one-day police chief, marking her eighth appointment.

Yesterday, Reni served as one-day police chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Tachikawa Police Station at the Tachikawa Partnership Festa 2026, held at the plaza in front of Tachihi Station in Tachikawa, Tokyo.

The event, organized by the station, focused on disaster preparedness and counterterrorism. According to the Mainichi Shimbun, Reni received her letter of appointment from the station chief and joined hands-on activities, including assembling cardboard beds used in evacuation shelters and trying out emergency water distribution.

During a disaster-preparedness true-or-false quiz, she stressed the importance of securing furniture so it won't fall over and agreeing on an evacuation spot with family ahead of time. She urged the audience to prepare, saying, "Disasters can happen right around us, and there are things we can't understand until we go through them. Let's be prepared."

She wrapped up the event with her signature catchphrase: "Today's preparation is tomorrow's peace of mind-Z!"

Reni is something of a veteran when it comes to serving as a one-day police chief.

Her appointments began in her hometown of Yokohama, where she served at Tobe Police Station in 2014 and 2017. She went on to take the role at Iwaki-Higashi Police Station in Fukushima in 2017, Yoshikawa Police Station in Saitama in 2018, Fuchu Police Station in Tokyo in 2024, and in 2025 at both Etajima Police Station in Hiroshima and Yokosuka Police Station in Kanagawa.

Including this latest appointment, she has now served as a one-day police chief eight times.
