Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is an organization that oversees and investigates complaints and allegations of misconduct involving the police. Its role is to ensure investigations are impartial, thorough, and transparent, maintaining public confidence in policing. The IOPC can investigate serious incidents, such as deaths or injuries caused by police actions, and make recommendations to improve standards. It operates independently from the police forces, providing an objective check to ensure officers uphold high standards and accountability in their work.
