Recommendation 28
28
Paragraph: 67
Appoint an independent chair for the IOPC to enhance scrutiny and accountability
Conclusion
In our previous report on Police conduct and complaints, we concluded that uniting the roles of chair and director general of the IOPC detracted from the ability to scrutinise the executive action of the IOPC and to hold it to account. Notwithstanding the findings of the forthcoming Review, we again recommend that the Government appoint an independent chair alongside the director general of the IOPC as a matter of urgency.
