Insightful Police Model in the Political Arena

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s police force is a very important element in the Islamic system, which has important responsibilities in maintaining order and security within the country. It is very difficult to carry out these tasks in the political arena, especially in conditions of turmoil and sedition where the right and wrong cannot easily be recognized. The only way out of such a situation, and the proper recognition of the right and wrong and action based on it, is the insight (vigilance), especially the acquisition of “political insight.” Re- garding the field and operational role of the police and law enforcement officers in the face of the onset of sedition in the community, gaining political insight for them is of utmost importance. This research seeks to design a model for police in the political arena, and answer the question of what dimensions, components, and indicators are the vigilant police model in the political arena.
To answer the research question, a descriptive and analytical method based on the elite interview was used in the theoretical framework of the level of insight taken from the verses and narrations and the statements of the Supreme Leader.
Findings and The most important finding of the research is that the
police’s insight into the political arena requires the coordination and strength- ening of all dimensions, levels and stages of police existence from the heart and mental levels to the objective and external levels. In total, eleven bases and fourteen principles in the faith and religious beliefs, six components and 85 indicators in the cognitive dimension, two components and 25 indicators in the orientation dimension and four components and 51 indicators in the behavioral dimension have been extracted.
