Intelligence dominance is one of the basic needs and one of the success factors of intelligence and security organizations that plays an important role in providing intelligence and operational needs. Acquiring news and information and surrounding and dominance on the surrounding issues by providing appropriate analysis and strong presence in various fields result in neutralizing the damage and threats related to terrorist crimes. In this regard, obtaining information from aliens and so-called information gaining has an undeniable role in combating terrorist crimes. Therefore, the main issue of the research is to assess the role of information gaining of illegal aliens by border guards in preventing terrorist crimes. In terms of its objectives the present study is of an applied research type and in terms of nature it is considered as a descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population of the study consists of the staffs of the Border Command of Khorasan Razavi Province who are in contact with aliens. The number of these people is equal to 140 individuals. According to the sample formula, the sample size of the research is equal to 103 individuals and the sampling method is also random sampling method. SPSS software and Spearman and Friedman correlation coefficient tests were used to analyze the data. The results also showed that the intelligence debriefing of aliens with a correlation coefficient of 0.702 is effective in preventing terrorist crimes. In addition, there is a significant and direct relationship between identifying potential terrorist targets, identifying the material and spiritual resources of terrorists and preventing criminal acts with positive correlation coefficients of 0.726, 0.812, and 0.773, respectively. Therefore, establishing a multifaceted relationship between border guard forces such as the border guards, the IRGC and the intelligence service and other security departments based at the border can play an important role in preventing terrorist crimes.

The police, as one of the public institutions, is one of the important pillars of any government and as one of the social subsystems. Creating social security is one of its main tasks. Providing security requires several factors, one of which is the social capital of the police. As social capital is a resource that is available to organizations and individuals in order to achieve goals, so it plays an important and sometimes necessary role in the formation and consumption of social capital. The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between social capital and security with three dimensions of awareness, trust, and operational participation. The crime incidence index was considered for public security. This research was conducted using a questionnaire for data collection. The data was collected according to the proportional sampling method. The statistical populations were all individuals over 18 years. 500 individuals were selected in Tehran.   The results of the study indicate that there is a correlation between police social capital and public security. Among the three dimensions of social capital studied in this study, the two dimensions of police trust and partnership with the police have a positive and significant effect on social security. Also, awareness of police activities affects public security, and in general, the amount of police social capital affects public security.

The borders of our beloved country Iran and especially the passport control passages are one of the most important executive shelters of the law enforcement force of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which can be considered as a symbol and showcase of this force. Significant increase in the entry of aliens into the country and the presence of aliens in Iranian society as a social phenomenon has many positive and negative effects and consequences in achieving social security, and since the process of controlling aliens at all border crossings, including land borders, water and air are the responsibility of the police to ensure social security, and from the moment of arrival to the moment of leaving the country, the police should be their guide and also trace them. On the other hand, according to security developments in neighboring countries and other parts of the world and the movement of aliens in the country in the form of human trafficking to cross the country and join terrorist groups in other countries or to immigrate and apply for asylum in European countries, which in this way have to use forged documents and passports, therefore, the problems of their presence are always one of the main concerns of the police that all its issues should be investigated. The main purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the components affecting the control of aliens from the time of arrival and stay until departure.

In terms of its objectives this study is of an applied research type and has been done by descriptive-survey method. The statistical population of this study consists of immigration police and aliens, including 153 individuals with more than 5 years of service experience in the provinces of Tehran, Kerman, Gilan and Khorasan Razavi. All of them have been selected as the samples. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. To determine the reliability and validity of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient (0.98) was used, which indicates the high validity of the questionnaire.

The findings of this study show that the component of parallel organizations (R = 0.98) has the highest and the component of human resources (R = 0.95) has the lowest correlation with the control variable of aliens. It can be said that with a slight difference, the component of parallel organizations has the most and the component of organizational human resource have the least effect on the control of aliens. Therefore, it is suggested that police managers consider these components in formulating police policies and strategies.
