The police complaints review officer will consider appeals against the findings of qualifying complaints against the police.  The police complaints review officer is the final decision maker in relation to complaint reviews, acting under delegated authority of the Police and Crime Commissioner, and provides for a final opportunity to consider whether a complaint could have been handled better at a local level and, where appropriate, to make recommendations to put things right.

The purpose of the role is to provide independence, transparency and accountability in the handling of police complaints and to increase public confidence and satisfaction with the police complaints system.

The post holder will also assist the OPCC in preparing for future complaints changes brought about by the Policing and Crime Act 2017 and associated regulations. This legislation allows PCCs to adopt additional responsibilities with respect to police complaints and the post holder would be required to assist with the implementation and facilitation of such options should that be required in the future.
