Ranking in establishing order and security during Afshariye and Zandyie

Research in the context of security and policing is a topic which has been less considered by researchers of Afshariye and Zandyie period due to the lack of documents, historical evidence and lower research sources.  Establishing order and security in cities is regarded as a policing task at first glance which encompasses social, economic, political and cultural aspects of society.  The established governments in Iran formed effective and cohesive organizations such that they could control and dominated  the community.  As a consequence an organ known as policing organization had  emerged. The present research problem is to study the ranks of establishing order and security during Afshariye and Zandyie and their positions and functions.  In this research the ranks of establishing order and security during Afshariye and Zandyie has been identified and explored using historical method.  The research results indicated that the policing system in Iran during Afshariye and Zandyie had not been significantly different from policing and administrative system during Safavid. It's reason was that ,on one hand the current structure was inherited from the past centuries and it was same as that of Safavid Government.  On the other hand, the period of ruling by Afshariye and Zandyie was too short so that there were no opportunity to create new organizations. Furthermore, the kings had not been able to form such an organizations.
