Metropolitan Police Department
Metro Police Department
noun
They warn people and they look at crime, and they even have an agency. Who is it? It's Tokyo's metropolitan police department.
The 警 here is actually short for 警察 (police). The word 警視 itself used to refer to officials who oversee police operations, but now it's mostly used in the 警視庁 agency name. Basically, this is the big agency that employees and oversees all the Tokyo metropolitan police!
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
