The Japanese Secret Police is a [[law enforcement]] [[:Category:Organizations|organization]] in the anime and manga [[Detective Conan]]. It appears to be based on the Japanese {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia:Security Bureau (Japan)|'''Security Bureau''']]|警備局||Keibi-Kyoku}}. [[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-kōanbu}} branch which operates out of the Tokyo Metropolis. In Detective Conan, Secret Police agents train at the same police school as ordinary metropolitan police officers. The agency has the nickname '''Zero'''.
Japan has several domestic intelligence and public security agencies. Two of these [[law enforcement]] [[:Category:Organizations|organizations]] have appeared in the anime and manga ''[[Detective Conan]]'':

* [[Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police#Public_Security_Bureau|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]]


== Background ==
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.  
At some point the Japanese Secret Police 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 Furuya hated Shuichi and the FBI generally and hoped they would leave Japan altogether.

=== Bourbon and Akai Arc ===
Bourbon was assigned to locate [[Sherry]]. [[Conan]], with the help of [[Kaitou Kid]] and several others, managed to convince Bourbon that [[Mystery Train|she was killed in a train bombing.]] While Bourbon 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 Akai 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 Akai then challenged the Secret Police directly, preventing them from detaining Jodie and Camel. Rei confronted Shuichi Akai 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 Secret Police for analysis. Rei's discovery of Shuichi's faked death was not disclosed to the [[Black Organization]].

It hasn't been stated how the Japanese Secret Police discovered the Black Organization. The Black Organization in general hasn't shown any indication that they specifically suspect the Japanese Secret Police might be investigating them.
 
=== Japanese Secret Police and the [[FBI]] ===
Initially Rei Furuya and the Secret Police in general wanted the [[FBI]], who are operating illegally in Japan, completely deported. Rei Furuya in particular wanted to arrest Shuichi Akai for killing Scotch. After [[The Scarlet Return]], the secret police appear to be grudgingly tolerating the FBI's presence.

The Japanese law enforcement not appear to know about the Secret Police's mission or about the Black Organization at all.

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]
