Security Considerations in Sapporo
In central Sapporo, underground shopping areas such as the Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Walkway (Chi-Ka-Ho), Pole Town and Aurora Town connect directly to stores and office buildings, so entrances exist both at street level and underground. In winter, snow and icy pavement make areas near entrances slippery, so it is important to include patrols of each entrance and checks before and after opening hours in the Post Orders.
During the Sapporo Snow Festival in February, the YOSAKOI Soran Festival in June and the Sapporo Autumn Fest in the fall, crowds around Odori Park grow sharply, affecting store customer numbers and delivery times. New Chitose Airport is some distance from the city center, so VIP visits require plans that allow extra travel time. There are also many tourists from across Asia, and assigning staff who can give simple directions in English or Chinese is worth considering.

Temporary staffing increases are considered after confirming the conditions at the store or venue, the hours and the number of officers needed. The scope of work and certification are confirmed in advance, and the results are reflected in the proposal.
