We are the Independent Office for Police Conduct
We are the police complaints watchdog for England and Wales. We are not the police - we are completely independent of them. We investigate the most serious complaints and conduct matters involving the police, and we set the standards by which the police should handle complaints.![](/sites/default/files/styles/720_x_auto/public/homepage-hero/20230329-2752x1200-DF-YP-2210.png.webp?itok=fyEA7_6l)
