School Police (Ao no SP: Gakko nai Keisatsu Shimada Ryuhei / School Cop / 青のSP)

MEIYOU HIGH SCHOOL

Ms. Asamura!

Let's just go back already.

Night patrols are the pinnacle of overtime work as a teacher!

Even if we provide guidance,

the students will only hate us.

Shibata.

Yes.

Women dislike men who complain a lot.

I only complain to you, Asamura!

Oh, my!

Here. See?

It's already 7 p.m. It's time!

Well then, shall we have a beer?

Yes! I'll go search for a restaurant.

-I'll call you! -Sure.

Hurry up and walk already!

You're so slow.

Can't you walk normally?

All right! I'm going to kick his stomach now.

Stop the crocodile tears, Yamase.

You would've been unscathed if you just gave us the money.

Your next payment is 50,000 yen, in two days.

I can't do this anymore.

My parents are going to find out.

What?

Your line should've been…

"I understand." Right?

Hey, you guys!

What are you doing?

What's up with you?

-Leave us alone! -Those uniforms…

You're from Keijo Middle School, right?

Stop bullying others!

What? How gross.

What are you saying, old lady?

We're just playing here.

Right, Kunio?

You guys are just forcing him to say so.

He looks terrified.

Hey. You're so annoying.

Get lost.

Lost your nerve already? How useless.

You guys… Don't try to act cool in front of a lady.

Shut up, old man!

Even your vocabulary choice is disappointing.

How did your parents educate…

He's so weak!

-Man… -Just get lost already!

-It hurts! -So you'll continue if they look weak?

You're rotten to the core.

Damn you!

STUDENT ID YUKI

So you're from a prep school from a nearby town?

You must have studied so hard!

What a shame.

You guys are all disqualified.

What are you saying?

Now you are all arrested…

…for extortion and assault.

He's a police officer?

No way…

I said I'm sorry.

You can't do bad things, okay?

Come on, hurry up!

Shimada!

I know you're with Criminal Investigation Division 1

but could you not contact me directly?

I'm helping you clean the streets. Be grateful.

What are you even doing here anyway?

Observing middle school students.

-What? -This lady witnessed the incident.

You can ask her for the details.

Wait, excuse me!

You didn't have to arrest them.

We just need to inform their school.

What if they get expelled--

I'm just doing my work.

If you can't accept that, then do your job properly.

Right…

Teacher-on-patrol?

How did you know…

What?

Asamura!

-Good morning. -Morning.

It sure was a disaster last night.

It was complete chaos.

The students were crying, and their parents were raising hell.

Keijo Middle is a traditional school,

so they probably can't avoid expulsion.

But expelling students over a single mistake is too harsh!

There's no choice.

They had to protect their school's reputation.

But I think it's more important to protect the students.

Yes, we've reached the location.

Yes.

Here we go.

Excuse me.

-You'll be on standby here. -Got it.

-Wait, it's the media. -What?

Can you film it?

Oh, right, it starts today.

What's starting?

The endorsement from the MEXT…

The School Police.

I see…

Akamine Middle School has adopted the School Police system.

How will the students' lives change?

In the year 2021,

schools are gradually becoming a place unsafe for students.

As a result, the Tokyo metropolis

has received approval from the Ministry of Education

to introduce an experimental system

known as the School Police on our campus.

-I can't accept that! -What's with that system?

Why is it being done in our school?

-What's going on? -In America and South Korea,

this system has proved to be extremely efficient.

Thus, I suggested our school immediately

when they were looking for candidates.

As a result, they recognized my passion

and decided to dispatch the School Police to us!

The principal looks so proud of himself.

He couldn't wait to show off.

But how effective will the School Police really be?

We don't need them. I'm completely against this.

The students look scared.

This is too much for them.

I feel uneasy too.

Deploying police to schools just seems too unnatural.

-What about you, Niitsu? -I think we could've discussed this.

But don't you think they'll be useful?

Now, allow me to introduce you.

This is the School Police stationed here starting from today,

Ryuhei Shimada.

Shimada?

If you're unhappy, then do your job properly.

Right…

Teacher-on-patrol?

What?

As the principal had introduced,

I'm the School Police, Ryuhei Shimada.

Let me give everyone a heads up.

My duty is not just

to protect all of you from various kinds of threats.

If I find any student violating the law within the campus…

I will inform the police mercilessly.

He's going to call the police?

-What's the meaning of that? -Explain yourself!

I hope that…

all of you remember that well.

Don't just say what you want and leave!

Is this system really all right?

Hey! How can you do that?

Silence!

-Why? -Quiet down, everyone!

Please keep quiet!

Silence!

Everyone!

Please lower down your voice!

Please quiet down!

Be orderly!

POLICE

What do you think is in there?

Who knows?

It feels tough to work with the police.

You're right.

It's bad for my baby.

Honestly, it wasn't right for him to greet them so dauntingly.

He must have wanted to give them a huge shock

so that they wouldn't look down on him.

It's just a bluff!

Hello, Mr. Shimada.

Good job.

From today onwards, you'll be part of us.

Let's work well together, shall we?

Fine.

Well…

With a police officer in our school,

not only will law and order be observed on our campus,

it'll also serve to deter bullying and school violence.

If it works, it'll relieve some burdens on your shoulders,

and you'll be able to focus better on your work!

I'd be really thankful if it works.

You're right.

Can all the teachers please gather?

I'd like to introduce Shimada to everyone.

No,

it's fine.

I've already memorized everyone's faces and personal information.

-What? -It's just a bluff.
