The role of police in urban governance based on ethics(case study: Tabriz metropolis)

The present research aims to investigate the role of the police in urban governance based on ethics (the example of Tabriz metropolis). To maintain its stability and stable security, every political system needs a decent governance in various dimensions, to accelerate the individual and social development of its society. 

The method used in this research is applied in terms of purpose and of the quantitative and survey research type. The statistical population of the research consists of two classes of police managers, deputies, municipalities, universities, and welfare organization. The research sample was based on stratified random sampling and the sample size was estimated to be 162 people using Morgan’s method. The tool for collecting information is a researcher-made questionnaire.

According to the characteristic coefficient model, the index of stability and security with a score of 3.00 has the highest elasticity and flexibility with the governance issue. Following that is the responsiveness index, with a score of 1.021, and has stood at the second rank of elasticity and governance’s attraction power. The ethical index with a score of 0.422 is ranked third in explaining governance, which has a positive impact. The efficiency and effectiveness index is ranked fourth with a score of 0.224

The results indicate that among the variables associated with ethics, the highest correlation was observed with variables of positivity (forgiveness), gratitude, supervision over subordinates, and maximum absorption, respectively. Therefore, the most effective way to handle urban desirable governance is training human resources with the characteristics of being popular, religious, and moral, not being aristocratic and wasteful, not being cruel, and not being oppressed. Therefore, the police need to put ethics and religious and Islamic education on their agenda.
