The Inspector of the Police Integrity Commission was a statutory position which oversaw the Police Integrity Commission in New South Wales, a state of Australia.

The principal functions of the inspector were to:

  • audit the operations of the commission for the purpose of monitoring compliance with the law;
  • deal with complaints of abuse of power, impropriety and other forms of misconduct on the part of the commission or officers of the commission by reporting upon them; and
  • assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the procedures of the Commission relating to the legality or propriety of its activities.[1]

M. D. Ireland QC was appointed as the first inspector on 12 June 2002.

On 1 September 2005 James Wood QC, the former NSW Police Royal Commissioner, was appointed as the inspector.

David Levine AO RFD QC was appointed from 1 February 2012, replacing Peter Moss.[2][3]

The Inspector of the Police Integrity Commission was abolished along with the Police Integrity Commission on 1 July 2017. The succeeding body, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, has an equivalent oversight position, the Inspector of the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
