Since 2023, the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has experienced significant increases in the number of complaints received alleging corrupt conduct and/or police misconduct. In the 2023/24 financial year complaints received increased by 28%, and in 2024/25 there was a further 8% increase. As a result, you may experience some delay before we advise you how your complaint has been assessed.
