Independent Office for Police Conduct

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is a watchdog organization in the UK that investigates complaints and allegations of misconduct against the police. Its role is to ensure police actions are fair, legal, and appropriate. When someone reports concerns about a police officer’s behavior, the IOPC can independently review or investigate those claims, helping to maintain public trust and accountability. It operates separately from the police force to provide impartial oversight, ensuring that police misconduct is addressed transparently and appropriately.
