New police agency chief takes office

TOKYO, Japan - Setsuo Tanaka (L), who took office as chief of the National Police Agency (NPA) on Jan. 11, shakes hands with Yuko Sekiguchi, his predecessor, at the NPA. Sekiguchi previously said he was quitting because he thought it ''appropriate'' to do so after three years in office, denying speculation that he was resigning to take the blame for a series of scandals that hit Kanagawa prefectural police last year.
