The police reform bill threatens the future of an accountable and transparent police complaints procedure, argues Sophie Khan. The recent wave of demonstrations has renewed focus on the importance of the Independent Police Complaints Commission's role. The current structure for recording these complaints requires that all are recorded so that grievances can be identified and lessons learned. But will that be the case in the future once the police reform and social responsibility bill is brought into force on 3 May 2012?
