In India, we have police outposts called "Chowkis", which are smaller and have fewer police personnel, and a "chowki" is often affiliated to a bigger police station.
I use this channel for explaining Japan's police boxes to my Russian friend. It's easy to understand what a KOBAN is, so thank you. I thought there are a KOBAN in other countries too. I am Japanese, when we have something problem we go there for asking their helps such as asking direction, looking for what I have lost etc...
India too have a similar system known as "chowkis" (actually police picquets) or "out posts" of a bigger police station. But the police officers posted here do not keep details of residents or do the house visits which Japanese Policemen in KOBAN are supposed to do. The closest to the "home visit" of KOBAN would have been the old "village beats" where a police man (usually by walk or cycle) visited a village and made routine enquiries.
Are these KOBANs manned 24 hours 7 days a week or are they more like police community outreach outposts that only operate during the business day? In Canada and the US and I suspect Japan as well, police have a city central headquarters, district precincts and community outreach outposts. A city like Vancouver or Toronto only gets one HQ but can easily have 10 or more district precincts. As for community stations, they are a really mixed bag to non existent one year to a couple dozen in hot spots in some other years.
Some or all are manned 24/7 especially in busy areas. There is a place to sleep and kitchen to cook in many of the Koban. I saw a policeman buying some groceries to bring to the Koban the other day here in Tokyo.
no, they are a reason japan is less safe than it could be, since you can only report crimes to local police boxes so basically if it's some kind of intertravel crime between boxes, even within the same city, it's unlikely any police box along the route will investigate the crime. and there's obviously little accountability with only 1-2 officers there and many are lazy for this reason and won't even properly address local crimes clearly in their jurisdiction.

En España no ponen eso de carteles con gente que se buscan . Todo secreto y a veces aparece Internet.
Missing people posters are also put in train stations in Japan.
