[history] => The Police Complaints Authority was established in 1989, following several years of debate about Police accountability, sparked in part by the role of Police during the 1981 Springbok Tour. Prior to 1989, complaints against the Police were investigated internally.
Through most of its life, the Police Complaints Authority comprised a single person with a small number of support staff conducting reviews of Police investigations. Because of its reliance on Police investigations, the Authority was perceived as lacking independence.
The Authority's members were appointed by the Governor General on the advice of Parliament. Under the Independent Police Conduct Authority Act 1988, the Authority could have up to five members. One member of the Authority served as chairperson, and the chairperson had to be a Judge or a retired Judge.
In March 2007 a report by the Commission of Inquiry into Police Conduct recommended a number of changes to the Authority and it was replaced by the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
