The Necessity of Police Participation in Urban Planning

The lack of active participation of the police in the urban planning process is one of the problems that the country's police now face, and this itself leads to a series of problems, including inappropriate location of police stations and offices, regardless of the three basic factors of geography, population and crimes. This problem is rooted in the attitude of the top managers of the Naja (Iran’s police force) and the country, while the city is the most important venue for police missions. The purpose of this article is to study the causes of the emergence of this problem, and further provide and mention grounds for police involvement in urban planning, so that a suitable solution can be devised to end this situation.
