The number 110 is the one you want to call in case of emergency. This day serves as a reminder that we need to use the number for its purposes (in other words, don’t dial it if you see a cockroach or need a lift to the convini). It was established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police in 1985 and it’s common to see Japanese celebrities serving as police “ambassadors” on that day.
