Information

The police super-complaints system allows designated organisations to raise issues on behalf of the public about harmful patterns or trends in policing. The police super-complaints system became operational on 1 November 2018. Please note individuals cannot make super-complaints. Super-complaints can only be submitted by organisations designated by the Home Office. If you have a complaint against the police, please contact the police force in question, or the Independent Office for Police Conduct. Designated bodies may submit super-complaints for consideration by HMICFRS, the College of Policing and the IOPC, and detailed guidance for doing so can be found here.
