The Office of Police Integrity

The Office of Police Integrity (OPI) is an anti-corruption and oversight organisation. Our role is to ensure that Victoria Police maintains the highest ethical and professional standards. OPI is independent and separate from Victoria Police. Our aim is to prevent police corruption by building corruption resistance and for Victorians to have the best possible police service.

We investigate allegations of serious misconduct or corruption by police, examine police practices and procedures to ensure they work effectively, and monitor and review the way Victoria Police investigates or conciliates complaints. This work is carried out with a view to ensuring Victoria Police meets community expectations.

An independent statutory officer, the Special Investigations Monitor, oversees our use of investigative powers. As an independent body, OPI reports directly to Parliament.

Mr Ron Bonighton AM became Acting Director, Police Integrity on Monday 16 January 2012.

Information Security Awareness Cube

The Cube, launched this month by the OPI, has been developed for police to promote awareness of information security awareness principles.

The Cube is a novel medium that will be routinely distributed to recruits and other police on request.
It is just one of many education tools that OPI produces for police.

For practical materials promoting awareness of ethical and professional standards, go to CPEU's Education Resources.
