The Police Integrity Commission, was a statutory corporation of the New South Wales Government, responsible for the prevention, detection, and investigation of alleged serious misconduct in the Police Force in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
[2] That recommendation, among others,[3] led to a radical transformation of the police service in New South Wales.
On 26 November 2015 Police Minister Troy Grant announced that the PIC would be replaced by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
The commission had extensive powers to summons witnesses and require the production of documents by third parties in relation to an investigation.
The Commissioner could issue a warrant for the arrest of a witness who does not appear in answer to a summons.
The commission could conduct public or private hearings depending on the nature of the allegations.
The committee also examined trends and changes in police corruption, and practices and methods relating to police corruption, and reported to both Houses of Parliament any changes which the Joint Committee thinks desirable to the functions, structures and procedures of the Commission and the Inspector.
