 About the IOPC

The IOPC oversees the police complaints system in England and Wales and sets the standards by which the police should handle complaints. We make our decisions entirely independently of the police and Government.

Police forces deal with the majority of complaints against police officers and staff. We investigate the most serious complaints and conduct matters and consider appeals from people who are dissatisfied with the way a police force has handled their complaint.

The IOPC was launched in January 2018 and published its first strategic plan in November. This plan sets a new direction for the organisation (building on the work of its predecessor, the IPCC) which has a greater focus on improving operational policing as a result of learning from our work.
