The Manchukuo Police was the main law enforcement agency of Manchukuo in what is today China.
When the Fengtian Clique ruled Manchuria, they had a police system that was legally part of the Republic of China Police but acted independently. After the Japanese Empire invaded Manchuria and established Manchukuo, a new system was established under the control of Japan. A central police department was established to be responsible for all police in Manchuria.
In each province, police headquarters were set up, like Xinjing's Metropolitan Police Office and the Fengtian City Police.
A Maritime Police was also set up to combat smuggling.
In December 1939, the Manchukuo Police Code of Conduct was established as a code of conduct for all police officers .
As a subordinate organization of the Manchukuo Police, its main task was to crack down on smuggling and maintain maritime security. Although the name of the police force is used, the Imperial Japanese Navy were deeply involved since the very beginning and trained its officers. During the middle of World War II, the Japanese Navy took over the cost of the transport of goods. In addition, half of the maritime police officers were Japanese seconded from the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Before the establishment of Manchukuo, the naval force of the Fengtian Clique was called the Northeast Fleet and possessed a total of 21 ships.
However, after the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident, the Northeast Fleet fled to the Nanjing Nationalist Government. There was virtually no organization to guard the territorial waters of the Bohai and Yellow seas.
After the establishment of Manchukuo, the government decided to establish a maritime police agency with the cooperation of the Japanese Navy (the naval department in Manchuria), and a coastal surveillance police unit was established.
In 1932, the Coast Guard Police Force was renamed the Coastal Police Force in accordance with the "Special Police Force Officer System" (Order No. 33 of the Kangde 1). Later, in 1938, the first stage of the plan was formulated, and the construction and purchase of new vessels was promoted. The headquarters was set up in Yingkou.
In 1937, the special police force officer system was abolished and the coastal police force was reorganized into a new marine police force.
In 1938 (Kangde 5), the maritime police were transferred to the coastal counties.
As of 1943 (10th year of Kangde):

Manchukuo was a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in Northeast China that existed from 1932 until its dissolution in 1945. It was ostensibly founded as a republic, its territory consisting of the lands seized in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria; it was later declared to be a constitutional monarchy in 1934, though very little changed in the actual functioning of government. Manchukuo received limited diplomatic recognition, mostly from states aligned with the Axis powers, with its existence widely seen as illegitimate.

The National Police Agency is the central coordinating law enforcement agency of the Japanese police system. Unlike national police in other countries, the NPA does not have any operational units of its own aside from the Imperial Guard; rather, it is responsible for supervising Japan's 47 prefectural police departments and determining their general standards and policies, though it can command police agencies under it in national emergencies or large-scale disasters. It is under the National Public Safety Commission of the Cabinet Office.

The second is the Imperial Guard Headquarters, a civilian law enforcement organization formed as part of the National Police Agency. (警察庁)

The National Police Agency is administered by the National Public Safety Commission, ensuring that Japan's police are an apolitical body and free of direct central government executive control. They are checked by an independent judiciary and monitored by a free and active press.

In the law enforcement system in Japan, prefectural police are prefecture-level law enforcement agencies responsible for policing, law enforcement, and public security within their respective prefectures of Japan. Although prefectural police are, in principle, regarded as municipal police, they are mostly under the central oversight and control of the National Police Agency.
