توضیح けいさつ in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should learn けいさつ as a simple noun meaning 'police.' You primarily use it when you need help or to identify a police car or building. Phrases like 'Keisatsu wa doko desu ka?' (Where is the police?) are vital for basic survival Japanese. You should also recognize the 110 emergency number associated with this word. At this stage, focus on the sound 'Kei-sa-tsu' and associate it with safety and public officers. You don't need to worry about complex kanji yet, just the hiragana and the basic concept of calling them if you lose your wallet.

けいさつ در ۳۰ ثانیه

Keisatsu means 'Police' or 'Police Station' in Japanese.
It is a formal noun used for the organization and authority.
In daily life, 'Omawari-san' is a friendlier way to address an officer.
The emergency phone number for the police in Japan is 110.

The Japanese word けいさつ (警察 - Keisatsu) is a fundamental noun that translates to "police" or "police station" depending on the context. In Japanese society, the police are viewed not just as law enforcement but as a community support system. This word is used in a variety of situations, from reporting a lost item to discussing national security. Understanding keisatsu requires looking at both the institution and the physical locations where they operate.

The Institution: When referring to the police as a whole organization, such as 'The police are investigating,' you use けいさつ. It encompasses the entire hierarchy from local patrol officers to the National Police Agency.
The Physical Location: While keisatsusho specifically means the station building, people often shorten it to けいさつ in casual conversation. For example, 'I'm going to the police' usually implies going to the station.

何かあったら、すぐにけいさつに連絡してください。
(If anything happens, please contact the police immediately.)

The concept of policing in Japan is heavily decentralized through the Koban system, but the word けいさつ remains the umbrella term. Historically, the word was established during the Meiji period as Japan modernized its legal systems based on European models. The first character 警 (Kei) means to guard or admonish, while 察 (Satsu) means to inspect or observe. Together, they form the image of an entity that watches over and protects the public order.

けいさつの車が止まっています。
(A police car is stopped.)

In media, you will see けいさつ used in news reports regarding traffic accidents, crime prevention, and community safety announcements. It is a word that carries a sense of authority and formality. For learners at the A2 level, it is essential to know how to combine this word with verbs like 行く (go), 呼ぶ (call), and 届ける (report/deliver lost items).

Common Collocations

けいさつをよぶ (Call the police)
けいさつにいく (Go to the police)
けいさつのかんり (Police management/control)

財布をなくしたので、けいさつに行きました。
(I lost my wallet, so I went to the police station.)

Using けいさつ correctly involves understanding the particles that connect it to the rest of the sentence. Because it can represent both an organization and a place, the choice of particle (に, を, が) changes the meaning of the action being performed. In this section, we will explore the grammatical structures most common for this word.

Reporting Actions (に + Verb): The particle に is used when the police are the recipient of information or the destination of your movement. For example, keisatsu ni denwa suru (call the police) or keisatsu ni todokeru (report to the police).

昨日、けいさつに遺失物届を出しました。
(Yesterday, I submitted a lost property report to the police.)

When you want to say you are 'calling' the police in an emergency, you use the object particle を with the verb 呼ぶ (yobu). This implies summoning them to your location. This is a critical phrase to know for safety. Keisatsu o yonde kudasai! (Please call the police!) is a standard emergency cry.

泥棒を見たので、すぐにけいさつを呼びました。
(I saw a thief, so I called the police immediately.)

In more formal or written contexts, you might see けいさつ followed by the possessive particle の to describe things belonging to or related to the police, such as keisatsu no sousa (police investigation) or keisatsu no kenpō (police constitution/rules). At the A2 level, however, focus on the simple subject marker が for descriptions.

けいさつが犯人を捕まえました。
(The police caught the criminal.)

Sentence Patterns for Beginners

[Place] のけいさつはどこですか？ (Where is the police station in [Place]?)
けいさつに相談します。 (I will consult with the police.)
けいさつの人が来ました。 (A police person came.)

Finally, remember that in Japan, the police are often associated with the number 110. You might hear people say hyakutōban suru, which means 'to call 110 (the police).' However, keisatsu ni denwa suru remains the most versatile way to express this idea across all levels of formality.

You will encounter the word けいさつ in a wide variety of real-world settings in Japan. From the loudspeaker announcements in a busy train station to the dialogue in a popular 'Keiji' (detective) drama, this word is omnipresent in the Japanese soundscape. Understanding these contexts helps you recognize the tone and urgency associated with the word.

In the News and Media: News broadcasts frequently use the term keisatsu-chō (National Police Agency) or simply けいさつ when reporting on traffic safety campaigns or criminal investigations. The tone here is always very formal and objective. You might hear phrases like 'Keisatsu wa hanni o otte imasu' (The police are pursuing the suspect).

テレビでけいさつのニュースを見ました。
(I saw news about the police on TV.)

In daily life, especially if you live in Japan, you will see signs for the Koban (police box). While the sign says 'KOBAN,' people speaking to you might say, 'Go to the けいさつ over there.' This is especially common when a local resident is helping a tourist who has lost their way or their belongings. The word acts as a beacon of safety in these interactions.

Another place you will hear this word is in Japanese pop culture. Crime fiction and police procedurals are massive in Japan. Titles like 'Aibo' or 'Bayside Shakedown' (Odoru Daisousasen) use けいさつ constantly. In these shows, you'll hear the distinction between the 'Honbu' (Headquarters) and the local 'Keisatsusho.' Listening to these can help you get used to the fast-paced, authoritative way the word is spoken by actors.

このドラマはけいさつの物語です。
(This drama is a story about the police.)

Finally, in schools and workplaces, there are often 'Keisatsu-kan' (Police Officer) visits to give talks on bicycle safety or cyber-security. During these introductions, the speaker will often start with, 'けいさつから来ました...' (I have come from the police...). This makes the word part of the educational and civic landscape of Japan.

While けいさつ is a straightforward word, English speakers often make several common errors when using it in Japanese. These range from pronunciation slips to social faux pas regarding formality. Let's break down the most frequent mistakes to help you sound more natural.

Pronunciation: The Long 'Ei': A common mistake is pronouncing it as 'Ke-satsu' or 'Ki-satsu.' The 'ei' in けい is a long 'e' sound, almost like the 'a' in 'cake' but held longer. If you shorten it, you might not be understood, especially in an emergency. Ensure you give the 'i' its full weight or treat it as a double 'e'.

❌ けさつ (Kesatsu)
✅ けいさつ (Keisatsu)

Another mistake is using けいさつ to address a police officer directly. In English, we might say, 'Excuse me, Police!' but in Japanese, calling someone 'Keisatsu!' sounds very rude or like you are shouting at the entire organization. Instead, use Sumimasen (Excuse me) or Omawari-san.

Learners also frequently confuse Keisatsu (Police) with Keisatsusho (Police Station) and Koban (Police Box). While けいさつ can mean the station, if you are looking for the tiny neighborhood police box, you must say Koban. Asking for a けいさつ might lead someone to give you directions to the large regional headquarters miles away.

❌ 近くにけいさつがありますか？ (Is there a [large HQ] nearby?)
✅ 近くに交番がありますか？ (Is there a [neighborhood police box] nearby?)

Finally, watch out for the verb choice. In English, we 'report to the police.' In Japanese, you 'deliver/submit' (todokeru) a report to the police. Using the wrong verb can make your sentence sound 'translated' rather than natural. Stick to the common collocations listed in the usage section to avoid this.

In Japanese, there are several words that relate to law enforcement. Depending on whether you are talking to a child, writing a formal report, or referring to a specific rank, you might choose a different word than けいさつ. Let's compare the most common alternatives.

警察 (Keisatsu) vs. お巡りさん (Omawari-san): This is the most important distinction for daily life. けいさつ is the objective, formal name for the police. Omawari-san (literally 'Mr. Go-around') is a friendly, respectful term for the patrol officer. Children and adults alike use it to create a polite, non-confrontational atmosphere.
警察 (Keisatsu) vs. 刑事 (Keiji): While けいさつ is the general organization, Keiji refers specifically to a detective. Detectives usually wear plain clothes and handle serious crimes. You would hear this word often in TV shows.

彼はけいさつ官ではなく、刑事です。
(He is not a [uniformed] police officer; he is a detective.)

There are also specific terms for the buildings. Keisatsusho (警察署) is the full name for a police station. Koban (交番) is the small neighborhood box. Chuzaiso (駐在所) is a residential police box found in rural areas where the officer actually lives with their family. Using the specific building name shows a higher level of Japanese proficiency.

近くのけいさつ署はあそこです。
(The neighborhood police station is over there.)

In a historical context, you might see the word Doushin or Machi-bugyō in Samurai movies. These were the equivalents of police in the Edo period. While not used today, knowing them helps you appreciate the long history of public order in Japan that eventually led to the modern けいさつ system.

نکته جالب

Before the word 'Keisatsu,' Japan used the term 'Raten' or 'Machi-bugyō' for law enforcement. The modern word was chosen to sound more scientific and administrative.

نکات

Emergency Number

Always remember 110. It is the fastest way to get help in Japan. You don't need a SIM card to call it from a mobile phone.

Politeness

When talking to an officer, use 'Desu/Masu' forms. Being polite can go a long way in making the interaction smooth.

Particle Choice

Use 'ni' when you are the one going to or calling them. Use 'ga' when they are the ones acting or arriving.

Koban vs Keisatsusho

For small things like lost keys, go to a Koban. For serious matters like visa issues or major crimes, go to a Keisatsusho.

The 'Tsu'

Don't drop the 'u' at the end too much unless you are speaking very fast. A clear 'tsu' helps with clarity.

Bicycle Patrols

Don't be surprised to see police on white bicycles. This is very common in Japan and part of their community approach.

Kanji Practice

The kanji for 'Kei' has 19 strokes and 'Satsu' has 14. Practice them slowly; they are very common in newspapers.

Watch Dramas

Watching Japanese police procedurals is a great way to hear the word used in many different contexts.

Lost Property

Japan has a very high return rate for lost property. Always report lost items to the 'Keisatsu'!

Night Safety

If you feel unsafe walking home at night, you can always stop by a 'Koban' for assistance.

ریشه کلمه

The word was coined during the Meiji Restoration (late 19th century) when Japan was modernizing its institutions. It was modeled after the French and German police systems.

معنای اصلی: To guard (警) and inspect (察).

Sino-Japanese (Kango).

بافت فرهنگی

Be aware that mentioning the police can be a sensitive topic in some contexts, but in Japan, it is generally seen as a sign of order and safety.

In English-speaking countries, police are often associated with sirens and high-speed chases. In Japan, they are more often associated with standing outside a Koban and nodding to passersby.
