The IOPC has today confirmed its role in investigating the conduct of serving officers following referrals from Gwent Police. We are committed to working with them to ensure a full and transparent process to tackle any unacceptable behaviour by officers.

We have today (Thursday 24 November) suspended three officers in relation to allegations of misconduct.

Following allegations published in The Sunday Times on Sunday 13 and 20 November we have worked to identify the officers involved and to take appropriate action.

Our work to challenge any misconduct by serving officers continues.
