The IOPC launched on the 8th January and it was supposed to be more independent from the Police. Minister for Policing and the Fire Service Nick Hurd said: We are absolutely determined to make the police complaints and discipline systems simpler and more transparent for the benefit of the public. We want confidence in policing to continue to grow and be underpinned by the vital role the reformed IOPC will play. Has anybody asked the IOPC to investigate their complaint if so did they? Was it successfully? Or did they just send it back to the PSD?
