Aichi Prefectural Police Announce Commencement of “Safety Campaign for the End of Summer”
[City, Prefecture] – August 10, 2025 – The Aichi Prefectural Police Department today announced the launch of their annual “Safety Campaign for the End of Summer” (夏休み終盤の安全キャンペーン). This initiative, commencing on August 10, 2025, aims to ensure the continued safety and well-being of residents, particularly children and young people, as the summer vacation period draws to a close.
The campaign, detailed in a press release issued by the department this morning, will focus on several key areas to address potential risks and promote safe practices during this transitional period. As many families are enjoying their final days of summer break, the Aichi Prefectural Police are emphasizing the importance of vigilance and responsible behavior across various activities.
Key priorities of the “Safety Campaign for the End of Summer” are expected to include:
- Water Safety: With the summer heat often encouraging last-minute trips to rivers, lakes, and beaches, the police will be reinforcing guidelines for safe water activities. This includes emphasizing the dangers of swimming in unsupervised areas, the importance of adult supervision for children, and awareness of water currents and potential hazards.
- Traffic Safety: As the end of summer often sees an increase in travel for both leisure and the return to school and work, the campaign will highlight road safety for all users. Pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers are urged to exercise caution, observe traffic laws, and be particularly mindful of children who may be less experienced with road traffic.
- Prevention of Accidents and Incidents: The police will be providing advice on preventing common summer accidents, such as those involving fireworks, bonfires, and outdoor recreational equipment. Education on the safe handling of fireworks and the importance of fire prevention measures will be a significant component.
- Protection of Children and Youth: Recognizing that children and young people may be more vulnerable during this period, the campaign will offer guidance on online safety, preventing bullying, and ensuring children are aware of stranger danger and appropriate contact with adults. Parents and guardians are encouraged to engage in open communication with their children about these issues.
The Aichi Prefectural Police are committed to working collaboratively with communities, schools, and families to create a safe environment as the summer season concludes. Further details and specific advice from the campaign will be disseminated through various official channels of the Aichi Prefectural Police. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and actively participate in promoting a safe end to the summer holidays.
