HOW would the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) compare with the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland, the institution which deals with all complaints against the police in that country?
The Ombudsman’s predecessor was the Independent Commission for Police Complaints (ICPC). Established in 1987, it was required to supervise police investigations of death or injury. It could, if it decided it was in the public interest, supervise investigations of other complaints. It had no subpoena power, could not investigate on its own, and could not initiate investigations.
