A total of 59 sources were found, and after applying inclusion criteria, 18 articles were selected based on the research objectives and the specified time period. The data was analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. External audit was employed to ensure the validity of the data.

Possessing these identified characteristics enables the police force to effectively address the challenges presented in multicultural environments and engage in constructive approaches.
