Upon receipt of information about the headquarters, the counterinsurgency forces of the Japanese police immediately took the lead, proceeded to identify and move the object safely out of the scene.

Before the security personnel moved the object, the camera-mounted robot approached the bag and analyzed the relevant information.

In September 2013, the city of Tama officially organized the 68th National Gymnastics Congress, which is expected to be attended by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.

"The purpose of terrorist attacks is often in public transportation because there are many people in transit ," said Yutaka Saito, deputy police chief of the Tama Police Station . Therefore, anti-terrorism training is essential. "

The Tokyo Gymnasium is an annual sporting event for more than half a century and will attract a large number of domestic and international visitors. As a result, the Tokyo police set up a plan to increase awareness of the threat of terrorism at this major sporting event.
