The National Safety Agency (Japanese: 保安庁, Hepburn: Hoanchō; abbreviated NSA), was a post-WWII Japanese administrative agency. Operating from 1 August 1952 to 30 June 1954, it was established for the purpose of integrating the National Police Reserve and the Safety Security Force. The NSA is the predecessor of the Defense Agency (now the Ministry of Defense).
In order to maintain Japan's peace and order and protect human life and property, it was tasked to manage and operate the NPR, and to carry out affairs related to this, as well as to carry out security and rescue affairs at sea. In addition, the SSF, which was an affiliated organization, was responsible for maintaining public order at sea, violating laws and regulations, investigating and detecting crimes, arresting, and rescuing marine accidents.
It was established as an external agency of the Prime Minister's Office, which integrates the National Police Reserve, the Coast Guard of the Japan Coast Guard, and the Safety Security Guard. However, since a preparation period was required for the reorganization of the National Police Reserve into the National Safety Forces (predecessor of the Ground Self-Defense Force), under the provisions of the National Safety Agency Law, such provisions would come into effect on 15 October 1952, and the National Police Reserve and police officers belonging to the National Safety Forces would be in charge of the National Safety Agency from 1 August 1952 to 14 October 1952.
In addition, the Japan Coast Guard's National Security Forces became the Safety Security Force (predecessor of the Maritime Self-Defense Force), and the Japan Coast Guard's main body (other than security and rescue) was promulgated on 31 July 1952 by the Japan Coast Guard Law. Became the Marine Public Security Bureau, an organization attached to the National Safety Agency, and the name of the coast guard officer was changed to Marine Public Security Officer to maintain security at sea. However, the main body of the Japan Coast Guard, which is the administrative authority, strongly opposes and resists the law prepared by the legislature for two years, and the establishment of the Defense Agency and the Ground Self-Defense Force, the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Air Self-Defense Force With the inauguration, the Maritime Public Security Bureau Law was abolished on 1 July 1954, and the main body of the Japan Coast Guard was not integrated and will continue to exist as the Japan Coast Guard.
The Security Agency Law (Law No. 265 of 31 July 1952)[1] was enacted at the 13th National Diet session on 31 July 1952, and was promulgated on the same day. Enforced on the day. According to Article 4 of the National Safety Agency Law, The National Safety Agency manages, operates, and operates units that act in special needs to maintain peace and order in our country and protect human lives and property. It was the duty to carry out the affairs related to security and rescue at sea.
According to the original National Safety Agency Law, the maximum number of employees of the National Safety Agency (excluding employees working at the Maritime Public Security Bureau) (excluding those who are hired for a period of up to two months, those who are on leave and those who are part-time) Was 119,947, of which 110,000 were sheriffs and 7,590 were guards (later maritime self-defense officers).[2]
