Background and Aim: Information and communication technology (ICT) has become a tool for enhancing productivity, efficiency and growth in human societies by accelerating the process of information exchange and it has provided easy access to the results of mass aggregation of produced data. The study aimed at investigating the compatibility of "spatial data infrastructure" with police missions. Methodology: This is an applied descriptive-analytical study conducted via survey methodology. The statistical population consisted of faculty members of the Amin Police University and the elite experts of Technology residing at Police Command Headquarter (n=30). A researcher-made questionnaire including 20 questions with five-point Likert scale was used for data collection.

Findings: In this paper, 20 components were examined; the main component were "police utilization of spatial data infrastructure and aggregation of existing databases of police (specialized units)". One-way t-test results indicated that "spatial data infrastructure is consistent with police missions"; therefore, that the first hypothesis of the study was confirmed at the significant level of 0. 05. Also, the results of one-way t-test at the significant level of 0. 05 confirmed the fourth research hypothesis that "there is a need to share spatial data infrastructure information with other government agencies".
