<p>The Government commissioned an independent review of the Independent Police Complaints
Commission’s governance and structure in 2015 and legislated via the Policing and
Crime Act 2017 to fundamentally reform the or-ganisation, renaming it as the Independent
Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). These changes came into force in January 2018.</p><p>The
IOPC is funded by the Home Office but carries out its functions inde-pendently, free
from political interference. However, it is required by law to report on the carrying
out of its functions annually to Parliament. Those annual reports include data on
its performance / effectiveness and can be found <a href="https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/who-we-are/accountability-and-performance/annual-report-and-plans"

also publish a monthly round up of performance statistics <a href="https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/who-we-are/accountability-and-performance/annual-report-and-plans"
