Explanation and Etymology - (警察) keisatsu
警察 is a Japanese word meaning "police". The first part of the word, 警 (kei), means "alert" or "vigilance", while the second part, 察 (satsu), means "investigation" or "examination". The origin of the word dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan began to modernize its government institutions and adopted many Western terms. The word 警察 was created from the combination of the English terms "police" and "constabulary". Since then, the word has been used to refer to Japanese police forces, which are responsible for maintaining public order, preventing crime, and investigating misdemeanors.How to Write in Japanese - (警察) keisatsu
