A. OPI is an external body set up by Parliament as an independent police anti-corruption and oversight agency. The Ethical Standards Department of Victoria Police is a department within Victoria Police that investigates police misconduct and corruption and deals with service delivery and disciplinary issues. The Ethical Standards Department is responsible for notifying OPI about complaints to Victoria Police and making sure matters referred by OPI for investigation are investigated. OPI monitors and reviews Ethical Standards Department investigations of complaints referred by OPI and makes recommendations for improvements. Sometimes OPI Officers and members of the Ethical Standards Department work together on investigations.
