We don't have the power to prosecute or bring disciplinary proceedings. However, we may hold the Police to account and influence their response to a complaint by:

  • making findings about the actions of individual Police officers and issuing public reports
  • recommending criminal or employment proceedings
  • recommending improvements to Police practice, procedure and policy
  • identifying training needs.

View our complaints data to see how we identify trends arising from groups of complaints and incidents.
