ストーカー対策「常に最悪の事態を想定した対処を」　警視総監が指示 [東京都]：朝日新聞

This page reports on instructions issued by Tokyo Metropolitan Police Commissioner Hiroki Usui at a commanders' meeting on April 7, 2026. Following a stalking murder case in March, where a 21-year-old woman was stabbed after being harassed by an ex-partner in Ikebukuro, and an intrusion into the Chinese Embassy, the commissioner emphasized strengthening countermeasures. He noted that personal safety-related cases involving domestic violence, stalking, and abuse risk rapid escalation into serious incidents. He instructed commanders to ensure specialist teams manage cases from initial recognition, assess danger accurately, and prioritize victim safety with swift, precise responses anticipating worst-case scenarios. Enhanced security measures for foreign diplomatic facilities were also ordered.
