I swear I am not making this up

So NHK news is talking about how Japan is preparing for the upcoming G8 summit meeting in the town of Tōyako, Hokkaidō. Tokyo is going to send their riot police to Tōyako while the summit is in session. This reminds me of the preparations for the World Cup way back when...

"ARE YOU A HOOLIGAN?"*

Also, the local police will concentrate their forces around the meeting area, resulting in a reduced police presence in the rest of the town. The local officials are asking residents with dogs to patrol their own neighborhoods when they can. NHK showed footage of citizens and their impromptu dog patrols.
