The importance of the role of urban and suburban police stations in line with implementation of sensitive and various assignments of police force, on one hand and the change in IRIP approach-shift from threat orientation to com-munity orientation -along with initiating 110 Emergency Police centre in the recent years on the other, has been the incentive to conduct the present research in Lorestan Province Police Command (LPPC) in the form of a theory of systemic school. Some police chiefs and commanders are concerned about police becoming follower of the public because of establishment of 110 police not being able to make substantial planning to carry out their other responsibilities. Therefore, the important point here is whether there is a significant relationship between missions assigned by 110 police and management of police stations.1464 people comprising of all the personnel of Lorestan province police stations in the second and third quarter of 2007.The number of the sample population has been 311, which was achieved based on Cochran formula. The type of approach and its required data has been gathered through a combined method (documentary andfield study) and through using a reverse questionnaire and a self-made questionnaire.Validity of questionnaire has been approved through benefiting from police experts. Meanwhile, the reliability of every aspect and the questions related to variables of the research theory has separately calculated. In all cases the achieved Cronbach’s Alpha level has, the achieved Cronbach’s Alpha level has been over the level approved by experts (a=0.75). The data has been analyzed by the use of SPSS and the collected data were analyzed in two levels (descriptive and analytical statistics) and proportionate with the measurement level of the research variables, Spearman and Person correlation coefficients, parametric and non-parametric statistical tests (variance analysis, T test), and analysis of single and multivariable regression have been utilized.The results of the research indicate that there is significant relationship between mission assigned by 110 police and prediction, prevention, follow up and combat affairs in police stations.

Firework on the last Tuesday night of the year, known as CharshanbehSoori, is one of the traditional feasts of Iranians. In the past, people held the ceremony through expressing their happiness without having any problems.Unfortunately, during the last few years the ceremony has deviated and has become one of the most turbulent nights that violate order and security. The issue has been dealt with in the framework of psychological and sociological theories. The present research mainly aims at offering a managerial model for controlling the unrests of the ceremony in Kermanshah city. The present research is of applied type and the method used is interventional. The statisti-cal community includes four of the problem maker neighborhoods in the city-22nd of Bahman, Kasra, Maskan and Karmandan- during the ceremony. Sixhundred persons were randomly selected through simple sampling method in Kermanshah city in 2007. Self-made questionnaire, researcher's observations and a checklist were the tools for gathering information, and Lickert range was used to develop them. The questionnaire's validity was determined via using nominal and contextual validity, and its reliability was determined via Cronbach’s Alpha (a=0.78) and the data was analyzed through using SPSS and descriptive and analytical statistics. The results of the research indicate that the major hypothesis of the research (proper management of police forces is effective in controlling the unrests of the ceremony) was approved.

The present research aims at identifying and examining the role of ethnic tendencies in Urumieh Urban crisis in June 2006 and manner of managing, controlling and handling it. The research method is analytical and descriptive, and with respect to its research model it doesn't have statistical community.Therefore, the required data for the research has been collected through referring to the documents and statistics of the relevant organizations, the library documents and the existing documents in reliable archives, referring to sources, face to face interview with police, political and intelligence experts of West Azarbaijan province who were directly in charge of controlling the crisis. Meanwhile, some more data was collected throughfield survey and presence in crisis stricken regions. The community under survey in the present research is Urumieh in West Azarbaijan province. The most substan-tial reason and factors which lead to having tendency toward authenticity and displaying urban violent or non-violent behavior in June 2006 has been categorized in the framework of political, and cultural economic deprivation generating discriminations. Then, through relying on scientific theories and referring to the proofs offered, the relevant data was analyzed and crisis in Urumieh was examined. Thefindings are as follows: 1. Having the feeling of being discriminated, deprived and despised are most substantial factors leading citizen toward ethnic tendencies.2. The above-mentioned feeling is the main driver of displaying violent or non-violent ethnic protests which can become an urban crisis under some intensifying factors.3. Political, intelligence and police officials are highly recommended to give priority to using software methods instead of hardware ones to combat the protests whose origin is ethnic tendency.

The theory of crime prevention through environmental design is based on one simple idea -- that crime results partly from the opportunities presented by physical environment. This being the case it should be possible to alter the physical environment so that crime is less likely to occur. Simple, almost obvious as this may be, the idea that crime is partly caused by physical environment has been a controversial one among criminologists. In my presentation I will argue that the controversy is based on a misunderstanding about causes and will review what is now a large body of evidence that the physical environment plays an important part in crime. I will then review current approaches to changing the physical environment and the “opportunity” theories on which these rest. I will also consider the main criticism of environmental crime prevention that it does not reduce crime, but merely displaces it to some othertime, place or target. Finally, I will draw out the main lessons from research about successful ways to implement crime prevention through environmental design.

In every society, the issue of crisis is among the substantial and challenging problems that governments face with. Chief among the most critical socialsecurity crises during the last two decades is student crisis of the year 2000.During these crises, police and security institutions bear such a heavy and excruciating burden on their shoulders. The present research aims at identifying the problems of IRIP intelligence system andfinding and effective intelligent mechanism to enhance the prediction potential of the departments.In line with this, the documents related to the crisis of September 2000 in Khoramabad have been collected, and interviews were held with some intelligence and executive experts involved in the aforesaid crisis. The method used to conduct the research was a descriptive research. Ten intelligence officials who were involved in the crisis were interviewed. Based on the results of the research it can be claimed that the intelligence department of Lorestan Province Police Command (LPPC) did not perform properly to forecast September 2000 crisis in Khoramabad. The results also indicated that intelligence estimations were not made properly in terms of time and content. Due to the three following main reasons, the crisis was not controlled properly: 1).The intelligence institution of the province could not play a significant role in preparing Lorestan Province Police forces to combat with the crisis due to improper commandership system.2) IRIP Intelligence system did not impact Province Security Commission (PSC) decision making.3) Lack of interaction with the intelligence body was in such a way that did not lead to issuance of an efficient and effective estimation by police intelligence service to influence decision making process by member of PSC.

Global positioning system (GPS) is a system which relies on satellite for guidance and position determination. The system can display place (longitude, latitude and height) speed, route, direction, distance and time remained to destination, deviation angle from the route of recorded positions and north.In the meantime, it can guide you to your destination properly. The system belongs to the USA. GPS is a very precise technical device which can be so effective and useful in controlling patrols.With respect to the type of missions and high sensitivity of their missions, police forces highly need such a technology, and can not enhance its productivity without using the latest modern equipment. The present research mainly aims at identifying and examining the reasons of the failure in utilizing GPS in disciplinary patrols in the holy city of Mashhad. Four theories have been offered to explain the reason of the failure as follows: Lack of required equipment to be used along with GPS Weak training course held for personnel The system not being welcomed by some staff and personnel Improper planning.The statistical community in the research comprises of 40 chiefs of police stations, and Mashhad Police Commanders. Four indices have been determined for each hypothesis, and a questionnaire comprised of 61 questions has been designed. The collected data is analyzed through using SPSS, after becoming sure of its validity and reliability. Finally, the four hypotheses were approved.In addition, every hypothesis in the research was looked into and prioritized.With respect to the achieved results of the questionnaire, some recommendations have been also offered to improve the performance of police forces in line with utilizing GPS to prevent crimes.
