Short profile:
The IPCC was established by the Police Reform Act and became operational in April 2004. Its primary statutory purpose is to increase public confidence in the police complaints system in England and Wales. The IPCC also investigates the most serious complaints and allegations of misconduct against the police in England and Wales, as well as handling appeals from people who are not satisfied with the way police have dealt with their complaint.
Detailed description:
In April 2006, the IPCC’s remit was extended to include serious complaints relating to staff at the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). February 2008 saw its jurisdiction extended further to include serious complaints and conduct matters relating to officers and officials at the UK Border Agency (UKBA). The IPCC is independent, making its decisions entirely independently of the police, government and complainants.
