context1: The rest of the state, even its urban areas, were much more agragarian or rural minded. Police recruits arriving at GPD (or any other department in the region)fresh from the police academy down state, found themselves poorly prepared for their unique work atmosphere. <strong>Chiefs</strong>, and <strong>Mayors</strong> all around the region lobbied hard to create a separate academy located in the region itself.
context2: However, Ōoka took up the case, and immediately settled it on its merits. Yoshimune was so impressed that when he became shogun five years later, he took the unusual action of promoting Ōoka over hundreds of other candidates, to the important post of machi–bugyō (magistrate) of Edo (old name for Tokyo). The post of machi–bugyō combined the duties of <strong>mayor</strong>, police <strong>chief</strong>, judge, and fire marshal.
