Office of the Independent Police Review Director
The Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) opened on October 19, 2009. The OIPRD is an arms-length agency of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, staffed entirely by civilians. The OIPRD is accountable to the Attorney General, but the Independent Police Review Director is responsible for the day-to-day decisions.
This means our decisions are independent, and we are separate from the government, the police and the community.
The OIPRD’s goal is to provide an objective, impartial office to accept, process and oversee the investigation of public complaints against Ontario’s police. In some cases the OIPRD will also investigate a public complaint.
