Police Applicants Dropping

The number of police applicants in Japan has been decreasing since 2010. Japan's economy has improved, so younger people can get better jobs easier than before. They are tend to avoid hard and dangerous work. That is one of the reasons of the reducing. 

Each prefectural police department is trying to get more applicants because they want more suitable police officers. For example, some prefectures allow applicants by the age of 35 years old and others removed the limit of the applicants' height. 

Police officers have kept our country secure. I hope lots of young people will get interested in the important job.
