Office of the Independent Police Review Director
The OIPRD is an independent arm’s length agency of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. The OIPRD receives, manages and oversees public complaints about Ontario’s municipal, regional and provincial police. The Police Services Act gives the Independent Police Review Director the power to conduct systemic reviews. The purpose of a systemic review is not to find individual misconduct, but to identify and address larger issues of systemic importance and make recommendations to improve policing.
