This presentation by Justice Goddard, Chair of the Independent Police Conduct Authority, outlines significant advancements in civilian oversight of policing since 2008. Key highlights include the completion of a restructuring process, the doubling of investigative staff, and the establishment of a dedicated Complaints Management Team. Improved transparency and support from across the political spectrum have led to increased funding, a greater media profile, and reduced criticism regarding independence. The underlying goal remains the upholding of fundamental human rights within policing.
