The Ontario Civilian Police Commission, previously known as the Ontario Police Commission and the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services, is the quasi-judicial agency responsible for police services in Ontario.
The role and authority of OCPC is mandated under the Police Services Act of Ontario and Interprovincial Policing Act.
OCPC is headed by a Chair (currently David C. Gavsie) and 8 other members. Some board members have legal backgrounds while others have public service experience.
OCPC handles complaints involving police conduct that do not result in a serious injury or death in the province or has been sent to OCPC from local police agencies. All other cases are investigated by the Special Investigations Unit.
