The National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan is set to conduct a special inspection on the Saga Prefecture Police Department. This decision comes within the framework of ensuring law enforcement adherence to standards and practices as laid out by Japanese Law. Precise details regarding the scope of the inspection have not been disclosed yet. It remains to be seen if this inspection could reveal any potential inconsistencies or lead to any reshuffling in the Saga police force.

Special inspections like these are not uncommon in Japan and represent the government's effort to maintain the integrity of its police forces. It is part of a system to prevent corruption or misuse of power within law enforcement bodies. The public generally views these inspections as a demonstration of transparency and accountability in Japan's criminal justice system.

In the US or EU, external reviews of local law enforcement bodies also occur, often performed by national or federal entities or independent commissions. They usually focus on various aspects including misconduct, abuse of power, and adherence to procedural guidelines. However, as with Japan, the level of public trust in these inspections can vary considerably based on local context and history.
