Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) was a UK body responsible for overseeing and reviewing complaints made against the police to ensure accountability and proper conduct. It operated independently from the police themselves, providing an impartial investigation into allegations of misconduct or poor service. The IPCC aimed to maintain public trust by ensuring complaints were thoroughly and fairly investigated. In 2023, it was replaced by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which continues its role in overseeing police accountability and handling complaints independently.
