[[Rei Furuya]] and [[Scotch]] specifically appear to part of the {{nihongo|'''Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau'''|警視庁公安部|Keishichō Kōan-bu}} branch which operates out of the Tokyo Metropolis. In Detective Conan, Public Security Bureau agents train at the same police school as ordinary metropolitan police officers. The agency has the nickname '''[[Zero]]'''.

At some point the Public Security Bureau learned of the existence of the [[Black Organization]]. [[Rei Furuya]], using the alias Tooru Amuro, and [[Scotch|another man]] infiltrated the Organization. After distinguishing themselves in an unknown fashion, [[the Boss of the Black Organization]] gave the two codenames. Rei became "Bourbon" and the other man became "Scotch". For some unknown reason, Scotch was killed by [[Shuichi Akai]] who was also infiltrating the Black Organization on behalf of the FBI at the same time. As a result, Rei hated Shuichi and the FBI generally and hoped they would leave Japan altogether.

Rei was assigned to locate [[Sherry]]. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], with the help of [[Kaitou Kid]] and several others, managed to convince Rei that [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|she was killed in a train bombing.]] While Rei was looking for Shiho he also took the time to investigate [[Shuichi Akai]]'s alleged death and the FBI illegally stationed in Japan. With the help of [[Vermouth]], he impersonated Shuichi and discovered that he was not actually dead.
 
Rei later gathered up a team of men to confront a man he believed to be Shuichi in disguise: [[Subaru Okiya]]. Shuichi then challenged the Public Security Bureau directly, preventing them from detaining [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]]. Rei confronted Shuichi by phone and found out that Shuichi did not kill Scotch out of malice, and he was genuinely sorry he died. Shuichi also turned over a handgun to the Public Security Bureau for analysis. Rei's discovery of Shuichi's faked death was not disclosed to the [[Black Organization]].

Japan has several domestic intelligence and public security agencies. Two of these law enforcement organizations have appeared in the anime and manga Detective Conan:

Both have similar roles supervising public security and work closely together. The National Police Agency (NPA) focuses on the national scale and its security bureau (NPA SB) supervises the police security departments in all prefectures except Tokyo prefecture. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau (Tokyo MPD PSB) supervises public security in the Tokyo prefecture.

Trivia

  • Public Security Police (公安警察 Kō'an Keisatsu?)[1], also called "Kō'an" (公安) by some, is a common term used to refer to all the police forces and agents whose mission is to maintain public security in Japan, covering from the NPA Security Bureau, to the Tokyo MPD Public Security Bureau, and to other prefectural security bureaus and departments.[2] This is the reason why both Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofushi are generally called Kō'an Keisatsu/Kō'an, despite technically hailing from separate organizations.
  • Public security agents train at the same police academy as ordinary metropolitan police officers.[3]
