The concept of social capital due to its nature and content has bearing on almost all issues and problems related to humanities and social sciences such as social harm.In this article we have attempted to study the role and the influence of social capital on police performance. Using Suggested model, Police performance has been studied in four fields such as rate of crime eradication, rate of crime perpetration, rate or the number of complaints against police and citizen trust in police. Descriptive method is used in this research.The results of this article indicates that the society with higher level of social capital its police probably has a record of higher rate of crime eradication.In society with higher level of social capital the number of citizen complaints against police due to misuse of authority and power will be less. Therefore the higher is the social capital of a society the less the rate of crimes and offences will be.So higher level of social capital has positive relation with citizen trust in police.
