About Us
About Us
Anyone can report to us about NSW Police Force or NSW Crime Commission misconduct or maladministration.

What happens to your complaint

After you make a complaint, we will assess it to see if it is one we can deal with.

We may:

refer it to the NSW Police Force or NSW Crime Commission
ask the NSW Police Force or NSW Crime Commission to investigate the complaint, and we’ll then review their final report
ask for more information or make more inquiries
do an investigation ourselves
refer it to another agency
take no more action

Whatever happens with the complaint, the information we receive helps us to identify wider trends and patterns that can help prevent serious misconduct and serious maladministration in the future.
