IPCC provides alternative channels for complaints of police misconduct – Ayob Khan

KUCHING: The Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) provides an alternative platform for the public to lodge complaints regarding police misconduct, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay. He said that previously, most complaints regarding police misconduct were handled by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS). "The IPCC is another channel that the public can use. If previously there was only JIPS, some parties might have felt uncomfortable because they thought the police were investigating the police, but the situation is different now. "The IPCC is under the Home Ministry and has its own officers to conduct investigations into complaints received," he told reporters after attending the launch of the book Integrity: Man of Integrity, Honour and Principle here, today. The IPCC is an independent monitoring body operating under Act 839 since 1 July 2023, aiming to improve integrity, investigate misconduct by PDRM members and recommend disciplinary action. The commission addresses complaints of misconduct such as corruption and torture and recommends improvements to increase public trust. -- NAMED
