Lieutenant Colonel Mehdi Qoli Alavi Moghadam, as Chief of the National Police, was one of the key architects of Iran’s modern policing system. Trained within the new military-administrative culture of the Pahlavi state, he embodied the values of discipline, hierarchy, and loyalty to central authority.
His leadership coincided with a period when policing was being professionalized, standardized, and integrated into the broader machinery of the modern state.
