description Purpose: The purpose of this research was to design a model of the role of sport activity on empowerment, coping strategies and social self-efficacy of the police force.Methods: The current research was a descriptive correlational study that was conducted using the field method. The statistical population of the present study included all the employees of the operational police department of Baghdad city, which is estimated to be 9 thousand people. According to Cochran's formula, 380 people were selected as a statistical sample from the police staff of Baghdad city by stratified random method. The data collection tools were standard sport activity questionnaires of Sharkey, social self-efficacy of Smith and Betz (2000), psychological empowerment of Spritzer (1995) and coping strategies of Lazarus & Folkman. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression and structural equations were used using PLS and SPSS software.Results: The results showed that there is a relationship between sport activity and empowerment, social self-efficacy coping strategies of Baghdad police personnel. The results of the regression model showed that the results indicated that 5% of the feeling of being effective, 6% of the feeling of competence, 8% of the right to choose, 7.4% of the feeling of meaning and 8% of having trust in others by the activity A body is explained. Also, the results showed that 7.5% of confrontation, 3.6% of avoidance, 3.6% of self-control, 3.5% of seeking social support, 5.5% of accepting responsibility, 6.5% of escape and avoidance. 7.7% of managerial problem solving and 9.6% of positive reappraisal are explained by sport activity, and the regression results showed that 9.5% of social self-efficacy is explained by sport activity. Also, the results of the goodness of fit index of the research model showed that the research model has an acceptable reliability in the PLS model.Conclusion:  In general, it can be noted that the model of the role of sport activity on the empowerment, coping strategies and social self-efficacy of the Baghdad police force can be used as a suitable model to strengthen this force.
