A Study on the Impact of Courses in Vision on the Attitudes of the Chiefs and Commanders of Police Stations toward Some of Their Behaviors

This study has been carried out in order to investigate the impact of training courses in vision on the attitudes of managers and commanders of police stations toward occupational orders. Research method is quasi-experimental, of the single-sample type, i.e. pre-test and post-test. Using a questionnaire, attitudes of a 500-member sample of chiefs of police stations toward different occupational subjects were examined prior to the beginning of the course and after the end of it. Results suggest that these chiefs have right and proper attitudes toward six subjects (i.e. paying attention to the staff's living, executing illegitimate orders, neglecting in fulfilling religious tasks, ignoring religious beliefs and behaviors, hitting the accused and calling them names, misusing the personnel for personal affairs) but their attitudes toward two issues (i.e. maltreatment and ethical problems) are to some extent right. Moreover, it can be concluded that the training courses in vision are effective and have achieved some of their important goals.
