# The Independent Police Complaints Commission (Staff Conduct) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made under the Police Reform Act 2002 and set out procedures under which allegations of misconduct made against members of staff of the Independent Police Complaints Commission are dealt with. If a written complaint about a member of staff’s conduct is made by a person who was directly affected by the conduct in question, then the Commission will record the matter and appoint a person to resolve or investigate it. The Commission may also record complaints made by other members of its staff.
In the case of complaint which is not a serious complaint, the Commission will deal with the matter according to its own internal procedures. In the case of a serious complaint, the Commission may appoint any person (whether or not a member of the Commission’s staff) to investigate. Provision is made for the dispensation from the requirement to resolve or investigate complaints, for the postponement of action when the complaint is made by a person who is himself being investigated by the Commission, and for the keeping of records.
