Utilizing supervisory and controlling institutions in order to identify various issues of governing territory was considered necessary by rulers. Imperial inspection was one of the intelligence agencies during Pahlavi the second. This agency was established in 1958 under the command of Mohammad Reza Shah and was revived after a short break in the 1960s. In fact، the purpose of the king to revive the agency was to eliminate objections، remove obstacles to the consolidation of the regime، combat with corruption and failure، and ensure the wellbeing of bureaucracy. This was apart from the king`s suspicion to and fear from influential figures and institutions in the country، especially after Mordad 28th coup. The organization had abundant and almost unlimited authority.
