Radan is well known for his actions on Islamic dress code and distribution of illegal drugs and controlling thug gangs. He served as police commander of Kurdistan Province, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Khorasan Province, and also Tehran Province, the most crucial province in Iran.

In 2009, he opposed the Iranian Green Movement and was sanctioned by the United States, and later the European Union, for human rights abuses.

Radan has been designated by the United States as a person who is, "among other things, responsible for or complicit in, or responsible for ordering, controlling, or otherwise directing, the commission of serious human rights abuses against citizens of Iran or their family members."

Public Security Plan and Moralization Campaign

In 2007, Ahmad-Reza Radan launched a "Public Security Plan". The police arrested dozens of "thugs" to increase public security. The thugs were sometimes beaten on camera in front of neighborhood inhabitants or forced to wear hanging watering cans used for lavatory ablutions around their necks. Among the arrested people was Meysam Lotfi, a young Iranian who was previously arrested during Iran student riots in July 1999 and jailed for 6 months. According to his parents, he has never had any criminal records or background of illegal activities, and has never been arrested or jailed before, omitting the 1999 riots event. He was listed for execution, a sentence that was later changed to a three-year prison sentence after the media coverage and the attempts of his parents as well as human-rights activists. His former lawyer was Abdolfattah Soltani.

Syria

In 2011, he travelled to Damascus to support Syrian security services to aid in a crackdown against protests in Syria.
