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 province of Ontario.
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).
[2] Statutory authority for the OIPRD currently derives from Part II.1 of the Police Services Act.
[4] Like the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), the OIPRD reports to the attorney general of Ontario.
[5][6] 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.
