In all legal systems, the police have the task of establishing a public-centered order, and the establishment of public order requires the exercise of special powers and the enjoyment of the law. However, public order in the new sense, and, of course, based on Islamic teachings, is not unilateral, and must be bound by specific requirements and through social participation and a commitment to a common destiny based on the Ninth Principle of the Constitution and in cooperation with the general public. The partnership also builds on the sense of participation and trust in the police as trustees of the public security domain. In this article, in response to the question, “ What are the legal bases and mechanisms for the realization of a strong and trustworthy police? ” We are designing the legal pattern of “ a strong police, trustworthy people” so that the police can perform their legal duties in establishing order and order. Public security is well-functioning and, of course, we consider that it requires that the police provide objective guarantees to the public that the police are committed to the law and in the public interest, tolerant and tasteful. It is non-discriminatory, operates under the supervision and guidance of judicial authorities, and does not violate the legitimate rights and freedoms of the people. As such, the police have sought to establish citizen centered and social security that treats citizens on the basis of professional ethics and disrupts public order in a law-abiding manner.

Background and Purpose: Trust is an important component of social capital and a vital tool in police performance in securing social (moral, financial, psychological, and moral) honor. Police cannot succeed in fulfilling organizational goals and missions without relying on citizens’ trust. The level of police success in safeguarding people’ s moral and social values depends on their level of social trust in the organization. Accordingly, the current research using the cm2 method seeks to answer the question of what variables affect police trust and to what extent the variables in the causal model explain police trust.
