This study employed descriptive – survey and explanatory method and firstly investigates the role of in-service specialized training and behavioral components on personnel empowerment and then explains and measures the expected behavioral components in the study population. In this study, 104 employees of one of the security organizations with purposeful sampling were selected in order to investigate the impact of in-service specialized training on personnel empowerment that were studied by designing two questionnaires. Furthermore, expected behavioral components were identified by interview with elites and the under study sample was tested using MBTI personality test and emotional quotient test. The study results showed that in-service training is effective on the empowerment of the personnel of the study population and among the studied variables, professors and instructors of the course have an important role in personnel’s learning and empowerment. In the following, the results of the skill test showed that there is no employee, in the population under study, that fully meets the skills required for an intelligent expert (intelligent guerrilla) and only (11%) of the employees are in the relatively acceptable range and have the potential capacity to become a professional expert of intelligent operation.
