I was asked an interesting question recently-and I actually have no idea about this.
As I'm sure most long-term residents are aware, background checks and so on are very severe for people applying to the police. For example if a relative has a criminal record, they are rejected.
I was recently asked if a Japanese national with a foreign parent, could be a police officer. Naturally according to Japanese law, because they are in fact Japanese citizens and born in Japan, there should be no reason that they couldn't be police officers.
However I've never even anecdotally heard of a case of a individual from an international child, who was born in Japan and raised in Japan with Japanese citizen ship that has become a police officer.
I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any police officers from this kind of international background.
Cheers.
