Short profile:
The Police Reform Act sets out the statutory powers and responsibilities of the IPCC, chief police officers and police authorities for the complaints system. The Act: guarantees the independence of the IPCC Commission; outlines the IPCC’s role as guardian of the police complaints system; gives the IPCC a duty to raise public confidence in the police complaints system. The IPCC investigates the most serious complaints and allegations of misconduct against the police in England and Wales.
Detailed description:
The IPCC also investigates the most serious complaints and allegations of misconduct against the police in England and Wales. The IPCC can deal with three different types of case: complaints defined by the Police Reform Act as about the conduct of an officer or member of police staff; conduct matters (such as corruption) even when no complaint has been made; deaths and serious injury following police contact even when no complaint has been made or misconduct alleged. The IPCC also makes sure that serious complaints against HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) staff are dealt with effectively. The IPCC has been responsible for the way complaints against staff at the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) are handled since the launch of SOCA in April 2006.
