PUTRAJAYA:
Starting tomorrow, the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) will no longer accept any complaints made against the police or its officers.

This is because the police are no longer listed under the schedule of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Act 700) as one of the enforcement agencies under its purview, the EAIC said in a statement today.

The EAIC said this was in line with the Independent Police Conduct Commission Act 2022 (IPCC) which will also come into force from July 1.

“The EAIC, however, will resolve all complaints and investigations received before July 1, 2023, within a period of one year until July 1, 2024.

Any enquiries or complaints by the public against the police from July 1, 2023, can be channelled through the security division of the home ministry at 03-8886 8526 or 03-8886 8529,” the statement read.

It also said that the EAIC remains committed to its vision as a leader in the enforcement, transformation, and culture of integrity based on professionalism and best practices.
