Civilian Office of Police Accountability

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) is an independent organization responsible for investigating complaints and incidents involving the police. Its goal is to ensure accountability, transparency, and fair oversight of law enforcement actions. COPA reviews allegations of misconduct, conducts thorough investigations, and recommends disciplinary actions if necessary. It operates separately from police departments to provide an impartial review process, helping build public trust and ensure police practices adhere to community standards and laws.
