    The Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD; French: Bureau du directeur indépendant de l’examen de la police) is an independent civilian oversight agency that handles public complaints regarding police conduct in the Canadian provinceofOntario. The agency oversees municipal police services and the Ontario Provincial Police.

    Overview[edit]

    The Office of the Independent Police Review Director's specific mandate is receiving, managing and overseeing all public complaints about municipal, regional and provincial police in Ontario; as such, First Nations police, special constables and provincial offences officers (bylaw enforcement), and federal agencies such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are not subject to review by the agency (though most are subject to a similar oversight body). As an independent civilian oversight agency, the OIPRD makes sure public complaints about police are dealt with in a manner that is transparent, effective and fair to both the public and the police.

    Created in 2008 by the Independent Police Review Act, 2007 (which amended Part V of the Police Services Act),[1] the agency is headquartered in Toronto.[2]

    Statutory authority for the OIPRD currently derives from Part II.1 of the Police Services Act.[3] Once the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA) comes into force, OIPRD will be governed by Part VIII of CSPA.[4] Like the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), the OIPRD reports to the attorney general of Ontario.

    Members of the agency cannot be serving police officers, and the director cannot be a former or current police officer.[5][6]

    Changes to police oversight[edit]

    The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, which received royal assent on March 26, 2019, will impact OIPRD in several ways once it comes into force.
