Full description
The Police Complaints Authority was established in 1986 under the provisions of the Police Regulation (Amendment) Act of 1985. Prior to its establishment the investigation of complaints was undertaken by the Internal Investigations Bureau, within the Victoria Police Force (VA 724), and these investigations were reviewed by the Ombudsman (VA 1037).The Authority was responsible for considering complaints made by the public against members of the Police Force, including those against the Chief Commissioner of Police or the Commissioners of the Force, and for overseeing investigation of complaints undertaken by Police themselves.
In May 1988 all functions of the Authority were transferred to the Office of the Ombudsman under the direction of a Deputy Ombudsman (Police Complaints).
